The Snow Beast is coming to Pound Arts in Corsham from 18-24 December, offering a new collaboration between critically acclaimed Scratchworks Theatre Company and award-winning writer Jack Dean.
With inventive storytelling, puppetry and beautiful live music, The Snow Beast has all the hallmarks of a classic Christmas show. But if that wasn’t enough, this family friendly adventure (ages 6+) brings live science experiments to the stage as the audience follows a female scientist, Faina, who sets out on a quest to find the mystical Snow Beast.
In the snowy town of Seldomberg, test tubes bubble, experiments explode and new inventions whirr for the Science Academy’s Final Exams. But Faina’s got a problem… her project has unexpectedly burst into flames!
Desperate to pass her Final Exams, Faina sets off on a perilous expedition to find the legendary Snow Beast. With help from her owl assistant Maude, they encounter extraordinary spectacles and mountainous obstacles as they battle through the wild, wintry wilderness in search of the truth.
Can you help Faina and Maude overcome the scientific puzzles along the way? Does The Snow Beast even exist?
The show is interactive, allowing the children to get involved with the science experiments. Scandi-inspired music, composed by Lucie Treacher, brings a whole array of wonderful instruments to the stage including the traditional Swedish nyckelharpa. The puppets are made from recycled materials by Devon-maker, Chloe Benbow.
The Snow Beast will run for 11 performances from 18-24 December 2021 with a mixture of matinees and evening shows. For more information and to book tickets, click here.
