About In A Pickle
An Oily Cart production commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company for the World Shakespeare Festival
A total theatre experience for children aged 3 to 5, and their families and friends, inspired by The Winter’s Tale. Join us on a voyage of discovery through the landscapes of Shakespeare’s imagination and the music of his language.
Our adventure begins in the woolly pastures of the Shepherdess and her flock of sheep, who are having a party to celebrate the sheep shearing. When they come across a lost baby, they have no idea what to do – but surely the children can help! Following clues, together we will sail the salty sea to the mysterious royal court in search of a happy ending. There are many sensory delights, including beautiful costumes, enchanting live music, lovely perfumes and delightful textures, along the way.
