Families looking for something seriously silly to do during the Easter holidays should head to Leeds Playhouse on 9-12 April for The Story Forge: Make Your Own Myth – a hilarious hour of high-octane adventure, live music, physical comedy and stunningly daft storytelling.   

The award-winning Rubbish Shakespeare Company are joining forces with Silly History Boys to present the first UK tour of this immersive, all-ages family show, where two larger-than-life history professors and a live musician make new myths from children’s ideas. Audiences are led through a triptych of tales: the origin of the place they live; the creation myth of a donated item; and a hero’s journey – where an audience member will prove themselves a legend.  

 Along the way, everyone will learn vital, life-enhancing ‘facts’ about, among myriad other things, the God of dog poo bags and what ancient crime Marmite was the punishment for. Because it revolves around audience interaction, this silly Iliad – or silliad – is a unique experience every time it’s performed, with three new myths being forged from the unhinged minds of random people and a boatload of cardboard props.   

This hysterical production is a masterclass in clowning, jam packed full of silly songs, daft gags and belly laughs. Whether you’re 6 or 106, you’d be mad to myth it!
