THE EXTRAORDINARY TIME-TRAVELLING ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN - SATURDAY 29TH JUNE 2024
Amazing tales, elegantly told. The Extraordinary Time-Travelling Adventures of Baron Munchausen is a multi award-winning, family friendly, improvised storytelling show. There will be pirates and princesses, unicorns and dragons, spacemen and swordfights, and all of it completely and irrefutably true.
Imagine Jackanory meets Whose Line Is It Anyway, live. The cast are challenged to tell increasingly extravagant tales all based on The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. All they have are their wits, a box of silly hats, and the imaginations of a room full of giggling children to ensure that the stories end happily ever after.
