Lottie, The Travelling Doll
Production Company: String Theatre
Venue: The Corn Hall
Inspired by an event that happened in Franz Kafka’s life, the production follows the adventures of Lottie, a brave and curious doll that gets carried away by a gust of wind and embarks on a journey around the world to find her own path.
Lottie’s journeys are based on The Beach at Night by Elena Ferrante and inspired by Wild Beings by Dorien Brouwers and The Night Dragon by Naomi Howarth.
Using a variety of different styles of puppetry, including marionettes, glove puppets, shadows and table top, this production explores the themes of identity, friendship and freedom.
This is a fund-raising show for the Corn Hall, supported by Gill Graham-Dobson & Arts Council England.
The performance is suitable for audiences who are D/deaf or hard of hearing and will be audit described, making it accessible for blind and partially sighted audiences.
