Squashbox Theatre - Skillywidden

Welcome to the quirky, silly, crazy, comical, ingenious, ridiculous, inspiring, surprising, educational, ecological world of Squashbox Theatre!

Skillywidden is a celebration of the wildlife and countryside of Cornwall, using Squashbox Theatres distinctive mix of puppets, songs, storytelling and cabaret, with a strong environmental message. Legend has it there are five faery 'races' in Cornwall: the Small Folk, the Piskies, the Knockers, the Brownies and - most mischievous of all - the Spriggans.
Join our hero on a journey through the Cornish landscape as he searches for these elusive creatures -in ancient stone circles, old mine workings, fields, farmland, hedgerows and moors
Meet Skillywidden, the mischievous Pisky, and all of his faery friends!
Watch the dance of the beautiful Faery Queen!
Marvel at the incredible Book Of Nature as it literally comes alive before your eyes!
Learn about bees, bats, birds and beetles, and discover the secrets of the Cornish countryside!
More crazy characters, more silly slapstick, more tall tales and more fantastic facts!

My name is Craig Johnson and I live in Penzance, Cornwall. I am a performer, musician and puppeteer, with a humorous, relaxed and engaging style.
For the last 7 years I have been a member of Kneehigh Theatre, performing in major national and international tours such as Tristan & Yseult, Cymbeline, A Matter Of Life And Death and The Bacchae, as well as small-scale village hall shows, including directing and acting in Journey To The Centre Of The Earth.

As a solo artist, I perform under the name Squashbox Theatre.
Squashbox Theatre produces quality performances involving puppetry, storytelling, live music and comedy for schools, theatres, village halls, festivals and events.

This is fantastic! Now I understand why you play the melodeon so well: you must be a very talented man for any kinds of arts.
