Vagabondi Puppets

What's the matter with Muriel Sbwriel?

What is making Murial the school dust bin so ill? Could it be something to do with the rubbish that is being fed to her?

Intrepid school boy, Rhys, goes on a mission to find out, meeting life long friends, Timothy Betterbean and Disco Diva.

This show is a 'Pypedau Vagabondi Puppets' production made in collaboration with Owen Glynne-Davies (Cwmni Cortyn), Tony Heales (Living Daylights) and Hayley Tresize (Earthlinz). With music from Ros Hudis and Owen Glynne-Davies.

Supported by ecodyfi for the 'Happy Bin' project with additional workshop material, looking at the issues of waste with the aim to reduce the amount each school produces, supplied by Greenegg.

'What's the matter with Muriel Sbwriel' can be provided in Welsh, English or Bilingually in Welsh and English.

Pypedau Vagabondi Puppets

If you are looking for a little magic and mystery, a liberal sprinkling of good quality storytelling, several spoonfuls of diverse & dexterous puppetry, plus a whole heap of fun & challenging learning experiences, all mixed together with a firm belief & a steady hand,

then look no further than Pypedau Vagabondi Puppets.

We are a professional puppet theatre providing entertainment, education and inspiration across the known universe, (but mostly in Wales and England). We work and play with a wide range of folk, old and young, and in a variety of circumstances.

From Cardiff museum to Edinburgh Festival, from Wrexham Arts Festival to Rhondda-Cynon-Taff Libaries.

We aim to create spaces where the imagination can be activated, expression can flourish and where puppetry, poetry and play can be positive forces in the communinty.

The main ingredients of the creative soup are Jo Munton and Suzy Kemp.

But at any time other artists, actors, puppeteers, dancers, teachers, musicians or general vagabonds may bubble to the surface.
