Jack and the Devil’s Purse (Puppet Show)
December 21, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
£6.00Puppetry for adults and older children by Angel Heart Theatre.
In this darkly humorous and devilishly thought-provoking show the value of money and the nature of individual responsibility is played out with verve and comic bravado, proving true the old saying, ‘The Devil dances in empty pockets’.
“I am the temptation… but I am not the sin.” So says the the Devil in Angel Heart Theatre’s re-telling of the traditional Scottish Travellers’ tale, ‘Jack and the Devil’s Purse’. In it an idle young lad by the name of Jack lives alone with his aged mother and bemoans the tedium of a poor life. if only he were rich beyond belief… and so enters the Devil.
Performed by James Richardson and Dave Oliver. Live music by Felicity Hollow. www.angelhearttheatre.com
