    An original outdoor theatre show directed by Glenn Noble for The Fabularium. It is adapted from the German folk tale 'The Musicians of Bremen' collected by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1819. The performance features Physical and visual storytelling, live music, mask work, puppetry and is performed on a medieval cart that can be processed through town centres, community parks, and festivals.

    It was created at Coventry University and The Herbert Art Gallery, Coventry with funding from Arts Council of England National Lottery Projects Fund.
