WHEN ŠHLEMIEL WENT TO WARSAW

A rare visit to the Universal Hall, Findhorn by the fantastic Puppet Theatre Maribor Slovenia, this show for children and adults is Part of the Puppet Animation Festival 2013. Presented in English, this is the Isaac Bashevis Singer story of the lazybones Šhlemiel, who has daydreams of the big outside world. Whilst his wife sells vegetables in the market, Šhlemiel keeps an eye on the children and dreams of the big outside world. All he can ever think about is leaving his dreary old town of Chelm to visit the bright lights of Warsaw. One day when he can wait no longer Shlemiel decides to make his dream come true and he sets out for the city of his dreams. The adventure he starts out on makes him – and us – realise that whether you travel East or West, sometimes home is best! This is a delightful, fast moving, funny show with a clever combination of traditional puppetry skills and theatre.  At 50 minutes long it is suitable for all children from ages: 4+ years. Tickets are £7/£6 concs/£4 U16’s and available from www.wegottickets.com/Universal Hall or at the Phoenix stores in the Park, Findhorn tel 01309 690110
