An old woman and her two familiars, a fox, and a bird, erect their 'cottage'. They choose a well-known fairytale for their 'story'.
MISS BIRDLikes sparkly things, falters, changes, tries to be normal. Pristine in her hat. Fruity and unpromising. |
MR FOXDETOXLarge and ginger, elegant, decaying, falling apart, hanging on. His cravat flying in the speed of his flight. |
THE OLD LADYKnits and rocks, has been here before, and before before. She welcomes you. Are you the wolf? Is Little Red Ridinghood OK? The story starts to weave. |

We have no agenda but the story.
The web is woven. Are we tarty? YES. Are we trustworthy? Possibly. Are we real? OOH THERE'S A QUESTION!
How much do you really know about fairy tales?
A fairytale interrogation!
Whiterope have their very-own distinctive take on dark faerie tales (think Arthur Rackham on acid)
The transitory team include:
Mr Fox Detox — Last of the Welsh Hellfire club
Miss Bird — Exotica out of the cage!
Storytelling Granny — Do you trust her old wives' tales?
Plus a special guest per event — maybe a musician / performer / animal mineral or prop!
The team are a travelling self-sufficient "camper-van art unit" specializing in festivals, openings, arts happenings and music events.
You book us — we turn up. It's that easy.
