CARDIGAN’S Small World Theatre is sharing stories throughout August and September, releasing storytelling with puppetry online for the enjoyment of all.

Amser Stori is a new children’s library of performed tales in Welsh created for children available on their website and in partnership with AM, supported by Arts Council of Wales.

Small World Theatre combines traditional puppetry skills with exciting character animation to tell its first tale ‘Cawl Cerrig’ on Thursday, August 18.

Through shadow puppetry and expressive narration, viewers will enjoy this Persian folk story about the value of sharing.

Small World Theatre invites viewers and remote learners to explore a new version of ‘Y Llwybr Mellt’ in September.

Originally created by the company as a live theatre performance with Welsh playwright Meredydd Barker, it has been beautifully adapted into a narrated series for the digital stage.

Follow Ella’s exciting journey on the back of a flying hare across continents, learning the importance of protecting our planet.

Amser Stori’s collection also includes ‘Criw Coed ar Gwenyn Coll’ written by Carys Glyn. Join the forest crew - Owl, Deer, Blackbird, Eagle and the swift Salmon as they save a bee and learn about their environment.

“The online collection began during times of remote learning, when parents and educators were looking for material to encourage their children,” said Ann Shrosbree, director of Small World Theatre.

“Learning ground-breaking digital puppetry skills, collaborating with artists, talented writers and actors, helped us engage with audiences deeply affected by the consequences of lockdown.

“We’re now excited to release this beautiful Welsh language collection and see this as a great resource to share.”
