A THEATRICAL treat for all the family set in Dartmoor can be enjoyed in Bridport on Saturday.

The Soap Soup Theatre company returns to The Lyric Theatre in Bridport with the latest of their imaginative puppet theatre shows for all the family, The Pixies’ Scarf, on Saturday June 17.

Inspired by the powerfully evocative tale of The Pixies’ Scarf by Alison Uttley, Soap Soup Theatre presents its brand new theatrical treat for children and their families, set in the wet, craggy lands of Dartmoor.

While out picking whortleberries with Grandmother, Dicky Bundle finds a treasure that opens the door to a beautiful, fragile world. It is the world of The Wee Folk. But the moor hears Dicky listening, and watches Dicky looking, and tells the Pixies, who don’t want to share their precious secrets with a human child. Soon Dicky must strike a deal with the Queen of the Pixies, or loose the magical scarf forever.

Audiences may recall Soap Soup’s previous shows at The Lyric such as The Snow Baby, Little Red Riding Hood and The Owl & The Pussycat’s Treasury of Nonsense. With deliciously visual storytelling, Soap Soup combines beautiful puppetry, charmingly funny characters and magical music, offering audiences their most unforgettable adventure yet!

This show is suitable for children aged three and up, and their families and lasts for 55 minutes.

*The Pixies’ Scarf, The Lyric Theatre, Bridport, Saturday June 17, 11am and 2pm. Tickets are available from Bridport Arts Centre and bearKat Bistro. Doors open 30 mins prior to showtimes.
