About Us
Tell Tale Hearts devise and deliver participatory touring theatre productions exclusively for primary children and younger years in schools, theatres and community venues.
"A company with wit, invention and oodles of charm."
Lynn Gardner, The Guardian.
Combining installation, performance, music, projection and puppetry we put children at the heart of our highly visual productions. Through a unique mix of creativity and interactivity we aim to give children the opportunity to experience a magical and multi-sensory world of theatre in different environments.
Aims
Tell Tale Hearts aims to promote accessibility of theatre to children through devising pieces that appeal to children of mixed ability and cultural background and that can be delivered in different environments. Through exploring new genres in theatre for children, we hope to push the boundaries of ‘what is’ children’s theatre and how it is perceived.
‘The productions were delivered professionally and enthusiastically, the engagement of the young people was fantastic. The cast were all superb in and out of character and made the young peoples faces light up with the interaction, drama, music, scenery, projections and antics. The young people had such a positive experience.’
Karen Shore, Action Space.
