CURRENT PRODUCTIONS The Wolves in the Walls Based on the book by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. Presented with the National Theatre of Scotland, The Wolves in the Walls is a musical pandemonium incorporating song and puppetry. (75 mins mins, 14 on stage, 19 on the road, all details tbc)
Animo Uses a range of everyday materials and found objectives to construct an hour of improvised theatre. Working with local puppeteers and animators both in a workshop and performance context. (60 mins, 7 on stage, 8 on the road)
Spirit Three performers struggle to tell the story of three brothers. Teasing, sad and funny, a serious joke about cycles of conflict on the personal and the global level, and maybe just a feeling about how we may break out of them. (80 mins, 3 on stage, 6 on the road)
WRAP-AROUND ACTIVITY Improbable works with partners to develop appropriate additional activities, predominantly but not exclusively aimed at emerging practitioners.
