Trifle Gathering Productions
Charity Shop Cabaret on Tour
As belts tighten and the economy frightens us into scrimping and saving, this very timely and topical show takes us on a hilarious journey into Elspeth Garter’s charity shop – a welcoming world of rummage and romance, jumble and joy, bingo and the bizarre. Not having seen a customer for eight months Elspeth and her trusty volunteers fill their days with dance routines, tea ceremonies and the saucy delights of Mills and Boon - all set to the classic sounds of their vintage vinyl resident DJ - while an extraordinary love story unravels that will leave the audience gasping.

Dalla
Dalla, internationally acclaimed leading lights of Cornish traditional music bring their music back home 'where it do belong to be'. They will be performing pieces from their stunning new album 'Cribbar', including music specially written by them for the shows ‘Oh Mary’ and the BBC Radio 3/RPS award winning show ‘One Day Two Dawns’. Their exhilarating, moving and dazzling performances convey the sheer joy they take in Cornwall’s indigenous music and song. They also reveal some of the great stories behind the pieces. The show features multi-instrumental dance music on fiddle, clarinets, bouzouki, guitar, percussion, and scoots (Cornish clogs) and songs in both Cornish and English. “Dalla filter the sound of this ancient Celtic land through myriad other influences, infusing the whole damn thing with contemporary innovation and energy, as well as multi-instrumentalist virtuosity, to arrive at a kind of World Music with a Cornish accent. A rich aural tapestry that would awaken the dead. Sublime.” ****” (Rock’n’Reel)

The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde

One morning the Giant looked out and saw the most wonderful sight… This much loved fairy tale is brought to life using beautiful puppets and music. The story is adapted to broaden its appeal, while keeping the charm of Oscar Wilde's story. For over 20 years PuppetCraft has been touring high quality puppetry reaching all ages... This is one of Britain's top puppet troupes.
