Saddle up and join the outlaws the junk western fairy-tale that is Wild, Wild Woods come to Pound Arts in Corsham! Deep in the woods, the legend of a hooded hero rustles through the trees. Some know her as Robin, but first, she was Lil Red. Moons ago, a hungry pack of wolves came for Lil Red’s village. With nothing but the cape on her back and her trusty bow and arrow, Red and her ragtag band of merries are on the run.

Saddle up and join the outlaws as this junk western fairy-tale comes to life with foot-stomping original music, imaginative storytelling and a whole heap of junk from the recycling bin. Wolves made from bin bags, cardboard steeds and a vicious newspaper goose will have you discovering that one person’s rubbish is another person’s goldmine.

Brought to The Pound Arts Centre this Christmas by returning troupe Scratchworks Theatre Company, this show, which is suitable for ages 6+, sees them bring back their imaginative and giggle-inducing creativity that entertained audiences last year with their show The Snow Beast.

This show sees them collaborate with Jack Dean, acclaimed poet, playwright, performer, rapper and composer to create a fully devised show – completely from scratch! As always, their shows aim to educate young and old audiences, as well as entertain – and this show is ready to turn everything you thought you knew about folk tales on its head!

Join in the fun at The Pound Arts Centre this December, for a show that’s ready to get you foot stomping, festive and ready for recycling creativity!
