AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Experience a compelling and magical fairytale about The Grimstone family. There is a girl who reads dreams, a baby boy with three legs, a mother who sews garments lined with warmth and joy, and a grandfather who heals people with his magic potions. Hatched celebrates the wonder of books, the acceptance of difference, family love and the simple pleasures of life.

The story is told with giant books, old-world marionettes and sign language. Gertrude Grimstone (Asphyxia) and her assistant August (Paula Dowse), the delightful story-tellers and puppeteers, interact with the puppets and have their own role to play in The Grimstones fairytale.'
