How The Giraffe Got Its Neck

Tall Stories present 'How the Giraffe got its Neck' and this two hander has the benefit of double casting. On the day I saw the performance Alan Park was Explorer 1 and Caroline Garland Explorer 2. They alternate with Felix Hayes Explorer 1 and Luanna Priestman Explorer 2. Theoretically you could go twice and see two differing shows.

The Explorers Caroline and Alan take us on a voyage of discovery on the way we find out the answers to some very interesting questions. During the time the audience enter the venue they ask the children for questions they do not know the answer too, immediately involving them in the show and encouraging audience participation. Caroline and Alan obviously love what they are doing it is just so apparent in their demeanour and overspills to the audience.

If you are the sort of adult that avoids children’s shows please don’t, be courageous and go with friends or borrow children and have a great time.

These shows are always very well written and performed, with a great deal of thought as to the fun disguised educational value for the kids. Don’t forget Tall Stories Other show at C too ‘The Gruffalo’
