Stuff and Nonsense take their collaborative retelling of The Three Little Pigs on tour

Three Little Pigs

Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company present a joyful, family-friendly retelling of The Three Little Pigs, which is set to tour the UK from Autumn.

Developed in collaboration with young minds, The Three Little Pigs has been co-written by 9 children and presents a unique physical production that features raucous puppets and original music, that will captivate the whole family. Leaders in family theatre, Stuff and Nonsense present an unmissable show that holds children’s curiosity and family connection at the heart of the story.

After tricking the unsuspecting wolf onto a bus, the three little pigs are on the run and in search of help from audiences across the country. With the need to build a strong shelter, these problem-solving pigs call upon the audience to help them outrun and outsmart their unwitting pursuer. This classic tale has been reimagined with the children’s ideas and playfulness at the heart of the story. The young co-writers have worked alongside the team in creating and rehearsing the show as true collaborators. This included attending rehearsals as well as a day at The National Theatre studios in August, as part of National Theatre’s Generate programme.

       

Whilst the Company regularly delivers workshops for schools and works with children as part of their creation process, The Three Little Pigs is an extension of this way of working that has involved children’s input from beginning to end.

Working with schools in Plymouth, Bridport and Poole, three children from each school were selected to work closely with the Stuff and Nonsense team on this show. Led by Artistic Director Niki McCretton, the company supports children’s learning and development through creative activities. Teachers are given a greater understanding about the benefits of learning through the creative arts and given confidence to widen their curriculum planning. Heralding imagination at the forefront of their work, their shows are co-created with children and artists to enable an insightful creative journey, where children and adults can learn together and inspire each other.

Director and Artistic Director Niki McCretton comments, It is a show about family – three plucky siblings and a Lone Wolf! We have been creating it with a group of wonderfully insightful and inspiring children who have contributed brilliant ideas, so it’s a show that has real heart as well as some exciting adventures.

Co-writer Anna Murphy also comments, I am delighted to be in the theatrical playground that is Stuff and Nonsense’s storytelling. The Three Little Pigs, like their other shows, is a suitcase full of delight, inventiveness, joy, and wonder.
