Imagine a violin with legs. A violin with one foot bare, one in a boot and tuning keys for toes. A violin with eyes that follow you around the room, a fingerboard that curls above its head and a smile as wide as its body. Now open your eyes and meet Fiddlesticks, the star of a show of the same name from Garlic Theatre. |
Fiddlesticks is the playful spirit of a violin who breaks free from his strings and journeys into a world of musical fantasy in search of the beautiful Violinka.  |

During his quest, puppets made from musical instruments spring to life, birds fly out from musical scores a horse emerges from the bow of a violin and the music teacher Metronomous tries in vain to impose order.  " The whole show bursts at the seams with creativity and innovation, which inspired the 3-5 year old audience and drew them wide-eyed into its world of flying song-sheets, cello-bow horses and the cacophonous music prison immaculately cued by co-puppeteer Mark Pitman." Jim Hutchon Read More > " Fiddlesticks is a professionally performed show that takes the audience on an inspiring trip into a tuneful otherworld, helping them see music is about expression and performance rather than just order and structure." Steve Toase Read More > "The show was extremely imaginative and also exercised the imagination of the young audience." Ray DaSilva Read More > |
