The Shaftesbury Tales: 11th - 27th July
It’s Dorset in the Dark Ages
Join us in ‘The Pilgrims Inn’ as our merry company rests for the evening
on their journey to Edwards shrine
in Shaftesbury, entertaining each other – and everyone else -with Tales of murder and miracles, music and mayhem.
Inspired by Chaucer, and the terrible fate of teenage King Edward the Martyr in Corfe, Treehouse Theatre takes a mischievous peek into life 1000 years ago.
‘The Shaftesbury Tales’ is walking from Corfe to Shaftesbury , village to village, stopping to perform hilarious and interactive family shows along the way.
​
The Shaftesbury Tales have arisen from the collective creativity of the people of Dorset!
Woven through the central Tale of Edward the Martyr, are Tales written by local people and entered in our short story writing competition held this spring, some of which have been adapted for this performance by Treehouse Theatre and local theatre groups.
