Song of The Forest

Wild Words presents Song of the Forest

A smorgasbord of tantalising tales with characters strangely familiar, live music, spontaneous theatre and song all expertly mixed together by Michael Loader and Simon Blakeman.

Jakob and Wilhelm came from a big family of noisy supper tables, parental love and gripping stories of their forest home. One day their father died, the family became poor and the brothers went their separate ways, adopted into the jungle of the city where they continued their passion for stories. Years later above the hubbub of the city they hear the hum of the forest calling, they follow the breadcrumbs of ‘story’ along separate paths, leading them closer to the truth of their own.

Step into the tangled forest of tales, with roaming wolves and flying witches, cages and cauldrons, paths that disappear, trees that talk ‘und ein bisschen Deutsch’. Will the brothers find their way through their greatest challenge, to untangle the story created with the help of you, the audience, or will they be lost forever in the darkness between the trees?
