FAMILY production The Story Giant is coming to Milborne St Andrew village hall on October 17 from 7.30pm.

The Shanty Theatre Company production is being brought to the village by Artsreach. It is night time on Dartmoor and a cold wind whistles through the bracken and gorse, making them sing. Deep in his castle, the Story Giant is dying. Over the centuries he has gathered all the tales in existence.

All that is, except one. Tonight his very life relies on finding it. Expect skulls with overdeveloped conversational skills, gremlins playing Johnny Cash, dragons with strange culinary preferences, fountains of blood, mountains of music, a haunted tannoy speaker, The Duke of Edgbaston, laughs, shocks, surprises, and a white D reg BMW E30 convertible, in this adventure to find the last story on earth.

The Story Giant is adapted from the book by legendary Liverpool poet Brian Patten. The village hall and bar are open from 7pm and the production starts at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £8 for adults, £6 for under 18s and £24 for the family which can be obtained from the Londis village shop in Milborne St. Andrew or from Alice Harrall by phoning 01258 837371.
