Award-winning theatre company, Rubbish Shakespeare Company are joining forces with Silly History Boys to proudly present the first UK Tour of The Story Forge: Make Your Own Myth – a hilarious hour of high-octane adventure, told through their distinctive fusion of clowning, silly storytelling, physical comedy and live music. 

The Story Forge: Make Your Own Myth is an immersive, all-ages family show, where two larger-than-life history professors and a live musician make new myths from children’s ideas. Audiences will be 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. 

So… who is the God of dog poo bags? What ancient crime was Marmite the punishment for… and why was it inflicted upon us? Will it be Greek? Viking? Ancient Babylonian? They haven’t a clue! This silly iliad – or silliad, if you will – is completely unique every single time it’s performed, as three new myths are forged from the unhinged minds of the audience – and a boatload of cardboard props!
