Our Work / Archive / Four Treasures Theatre Tour

Our successful Four Treasures production was made up from four stories. The Princess and the Sun, Birdsong, Golden Ocean and The Lotus Flower. Each story centred around one of four themes (faith, trust, honesty and truth), and explores what makes them ‘treasures.’

Influenced by Indian culture and folk tales it is an entrancing performance which uses live acting, puppetry and live music.

“The puppets, scenery and all props were brilliant. The musicians and narrators very professional and a great story. I truly wonderful afternoon. A very moving performance by truly wonderful talented people with great passion for their work. Well done!!!” – Audience member at Old Fire Station

The participants created their productions in their entirety over a year. They began with research followed by design and set creation, puppets and spectacular costumes. The next phase involved writing the script, adding music and rehearsing before it went on tour.

“It is great to share a year’s hard work with the public.” – Jonathan, Prism Arts Studio Theatre member.
