Short tales of other worlds; ghosts, dreams and the supernatural.
Fascinating and imaginative storytellers, The Paper Cinema, create extraordinary, magical worlds with vivid pen and ink drawings, puppetry, and a treasure trove of acoustic and electronic sounds.
This show gathers favourite short stories, including the dream-like Night Flyer, humorous Devil in Cornwall, spooky Wanderer, and Edgar Allan Poe’s King Pest.
Performed by two puppeteers and a multi-instrumentalist, The Paper Cinema return to their ‘out-of-a suitcase’ origins to delight you with atmospheric tales of ghosts, dreams and the supernatural.
‘The pleasure here is not just that the animations are both sinister and enchanting, or that the wonderful music gives the whole thing the feel of a quirky silent movie, but also that you can see how the show is being made right before your eyes.’ The Guardian
‘Bound to delight’ The Telegraph
‘Any production by this small British company is bound to be something special’ The Times
60 minute show suitable for age 8 upwards (who don’t mind being a tiny bit scared!)
