EDINBURGH 2015 - BWW Reviews: STORYTELLER STORYTELLER, New Waverley Arches, August 22 2015
What happens when two children's storytellers arrive at the same place at the same time to tell their stories? And what happens if both of them think they are The Storyteller? A head to head that leads to a feast of clowning, physical silliness and some magical storytelling, that's what!
