Creating and Performing Visually Striking, Engaging and Magical Shows and Games
Frolicked is an outdoor theatre company specialising in unique, visually striking experiences for outdoor audiences and unusual locations. Captivating people of all ages and nationalities, and featuring beautifully crafted characters, our self-devised shows and games are interactive, engaging and a little bit magical…
Frolicked has amassed a catalogue of innovative outdoor puppetry work that has toured across Europe. Our growing family of original puppets includes: a glowing Victorian ghost (Tabitha), a hygiene obsessed usher (Arthur), a well-travelled octogenarian Yorkshire couple (because you’re Never Too Old), a pair of mischievous, legless sprites (in the form of Boggarts), a flock of beautiful birds, a giant-fly-pestered Alchemist and a Norse goddess and her enchanted companions (Nótt).
We have also devised a series of puppet interventions: a 5 day cross-county treasure hunt for Yorkshire Festival, a town-wide, environmentally focused gaming experience for Halifax Festival and MintFest (The Birds: the game), a 4 day treasure hunt for Scunthorpe Council (The Hunt for the Devil’s Toenail), a Quest for the Tees Tusk for Stockton International Riverside Festival, a rat infested murder mystery (Who killed the rats?) originally made for Theatre Deli’s Horror Souk and adapted for Leeds Light Night and Takeover Festival at Goole Theatre, and a ratty commentary on the trappings of modern life, housed inside a giant wedge of cheese (The Rat Race).
