Mike Penning joined local ‘theatregoers’ at Kings Langley’s first Tell Tale Festival.

King Langley’s MP, Mike Penning joined theatregoers young and old at a “Festival in Celebration of Stories” held at the Rudolf Steiner School.

The school was transformed into a West End theatre for the two days of the event. A wide range of high quality theatre companies put on shows that delighted children of all age groups and adults alike.

Theatregoers were treated to a series of productions the Theatre of Widdershins version of ‘Arabian Nights’, Jamie Crawford’s ‘King Arthur’ and ‘Jumping Mouse’ an adventure suitable for younger children by theatre group Unpacked. It was a great day out for all the family with a free story room and puppet shows for children running alongside the main event.

Mike said:
“This was a real treat for the people of Kings Langley and was clearly a great success. Many people have told me they are already looking forward to next year! I congratulate all those involved in making this happen – their hard work really paid off.”

The Tell Tale Festival was organised by Wizard Presents and backed by Arts Council England, Kings Langley Parish Council and Rudolf Steiner School.
