The show is being developed by Horse + Bamboo Theatre, along with musicians Bryony Griffith, Kate Locksley, Ewan McLennan and John Kirkpatrick.
Producer Esther Ferry-Kennington describes the performance as “an evocative new look at visual theatre”, retelling popular ballads with a combination of voices, harmonies, stories, puppets, music and animation.
The commission will debut in March 2017 at the home of EFDSS, Cecil Sharp House in London, by performances at Colston Hall in Bristol and The Met in Bury.
