Once Upon A Time – presented by Art Council’s Likely Story
The time travelling storytellers landed at the Gibbonsdown Childrens Centre on a cold December night last year to tell the local community one of their fabulous fairy tales.
But, as they began the story, their trusted story engine went on the blink and they were forced to tell all four stories at once!!! ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs’, ‘Hansel & Gretel’ and ‘Goldilocks & the Three Bears’ were all told, much to the delight of the audience.
It was a full house with all seats in the auditorium taken by local children & their families, even Assembly Member Jane Hutt enjoyed the show.
The feedback received was extremely positive, the children were delighted with the performance, especially when some of the children and adults were encouraged to play the seven dwarfs and local resident Steven made a convincing bear.
Gibbonsdown & Court Communities First were extremely pleased with the success of the evening and thanked the Likely Story for their modern version of the fairy tales.
