'His strange smile spread across the sky.
And his teeth sparkled like little stars.'

A simple story beautifully told. Using puppetry and physical theatre we aim to bring a new clarity to Ed Hughes' operatic re-working of The Soldier's Tale. A simple tailor entranced by the music of a travelling band is seduced into sacrificing everything to become the music... a haunting tale of obsession and loss.
