About Us

OUR company aims to be a recognised leader in providing consistently high standard T.I.E. (Theatre In Education) experiences for young people. To promote the learning of languages in an entertaining format, to contribute to children's creative and social development, to inspire and excite their imagination and ensure audiences of the future who will value and understand Musical Theatre.

FABLES & FROLICS specialize in producing bilingual shows in either Italian/English, French/English or German/English with both dialogue and songs performed in the relevant languages.

All of our shows are "fractured" fairytales presented with contemporary twists and popular culture references to engage all of today's audiences. Our experienced, hi-energy performers have an excellent rapport with young audiences and sing original musical numbers in a wide variety of styles.

Students are always eager to sing along and volunteers from the audience are chosen to 'participate' in every show!
