Cautionary Tales

Show Synopsis
Inspired by Hilaire Belloc’s sharply moralistic poems, Cautionary Tales brings to life a miniature world of mischief and moral mayhem following five fast-moving stories. From zoo antics to fire brigades, each tale captures the chaos of childhood through surprising twists and sharp humour – all framed by a sleepover setting where four singers spin tall tales and draw others into their imaginative worlds.
