Grannylocks/The Monstrous Duckling - T1454798652Join performance poet Joseph Coelho, winner of the 2015 Centre for Literacy in Primary Poetry Award, as he unravels familiar fairytales to create fresh contemporary classics in an enchanting performance for young and old alike. A father returns home with a magical cloak. A cloak that hides a story... Did you know that the ugly duckling was never ugly? He was truly monstrous! Or that Goldilocks was never a tale about a little girl? It was always a tale about a granny - a mean, thieving granny who has plans for something quite nasty. Join our poetic storyteller as he unwinds the true stories behind the happily ever afters and discover they're maybe not as charming as you remember! After the show there will be a chance to meet Joseph and purchase signed copies of his books, as well as talk about his work.Company Half Moon. | |

Zombie-rella/Blood-red Hood - T2086054406Award-winning performance poet Joseph Coelho unravels the true stories behind the happily ever after fairytales. An enchanting performance for young and old alike. After both shows there will be a chance to meet Joseph and purchase signed copies of his books, as well as talk about his work. What is Zombie-rella / Blood-red Hood about? Zombie-rella plays with the idea that good is beautiful and ugly is bad. Cinderella is not simply turned into a princess, she dies and becomes a zombie - but for this particular prince, that is perfect! Blood-Red Hood shows us a more realistic version of the popular tale, one where humans are the top predator and the natural world is merely fleeing in our path. Little Red is little but she is not weak, she is a hunter and a morally questionable one at that.Performer Joseph Coelho. | |

An enchanting performance for young and old alike. After both shows there will be a chance to meet Joseph and purchase signed copies of his books, as well as talk about his work. What is Grannylocks / The Monstrous Duckling about? Grannylocks is about an old thieving Granny who sneaks into the Bears house when they are out only to be horrified at what she finds in there. The Monstrous Duckling is a classic outsider story, an outsider who does not fit in and so is ridiculed by his so called peers only to find that he is actually fine the way he is and it is the world that is wrong.Performer Joseph Coelho. | |
