TattleTales at Bard's Apothecary

TattleTales, the popular magical immersive theatre experience, is coming to the Melbourne Fringe Festival.Audiences of up to 25 per show will venture underground into a mysterious cavern to meet the enigmatic Storyteller, who will guide them through a 60-minute interactive adventure. No two performances - and no two stories - will be the same. Part campfire style storytelling, and part choose-your-own-adventure, participants draw Tarot cards that influence their tale in unforeseen ways but they can also wield these cards to determine how the story unfolds. Chance and agency collide as the audience collaborate to build a tale together. Theres magic in storytelling, and I wanted to make something that lets you experience that magic in its most elemental form, said Davey Seagle, founder of Ponydog Productions, There's a moment in every show where you can feel the audience realise how much power they have over the story, that there's no wrong answers, and it's all play. It's exhilarating."
