In the dark and misty woods a hedgehog travels to hear three stories of faeries, folk and fun. Be enchanted by the power of the storyteller and his magical puppets.

We want to whisk away both children and adults alike and leave them captivated and imagining stories of their own. Taking inspiration from folk myths and legends as well as the shows we grew up with, we tell three stories. A mix of original and traditional, about the creatures of riddles and mystery that populate our folklore, laugh at the whimsy and mischief of the sly knocker-elf, learn how to save a person who has been kidnapped by the changeling fae and witness the might of a magical heron and the brave hero who saved her village from its sharp beak.

JackShaw is a company founded by three graduates of UWE’s Animation course. A shared love of puppets and myth led them to stage their first show in 2024. Since then they’ve performed multiple shows across the Southwest of England.
