About Us
A smorgasbord of tantalising tales with characters strangely familiar... Spontaneous theatre, live music and song, all expertly mixed together by Wild Words' Michael Loader and Simon Blakeman.
Jakob and Wilhelm came from a big family of noisy supper tables, parental love and gripping stories of their forest home. One day their father died, the family became poor and Jacob and Wilhelm went their separate ways into the jungle of the city where they continued to collect and tell stories. Many years later, above the hubbub of the city they hear the hum of the forest calling, they follow the breadcrumbs of 'story' along separate paths, leading them closer to the truth of their own...
Step into the tangled forest of tales, with roaming wolves and flying witches, cages and cauldrons, paths that disappear, trees that talk 'und ein bisschen Deutsch'! Will the brothers find their way through their greatest challenge, to spontaneously create a story set by you, the audience? Or will they be lost forever in the darkness between the trees?
