tall tales…for small people
Directed By: Karl Wallace & Rachel O’Riordan
Production Premiere: October 2005
Tall Tales takes place at the end of the telephone. Children ring the Tall Tales storyline and listen to a magical story. Aimed at small people 6-11 years old, but can be enjoyed by everyone, anywhere, especially adults who refuse to get bigger!
Some of the stories especially selected feature Giants and Beanstalks, Princes and Paupers, Revolting Rhymes and a special nonsense section. Children can simply punch in the number of the story they want to hear and listen away.
Tall Tales aims to encourage children to listen to stories and then pass these tales on to their family and friends.
