Package 1: The Trockles’ Tale
Lady and Lieutenant Trockle and their children live in the biggest house in Gloaming with their children Marigold and Johnny.
Like everyone in gloaming, the Trockles each have very special talents. Lady Rose Trockle can find her way anywhere without ever getting lost or needing a map and Lieutenant Cyril Trockle can climb just about anything. Their children, meanwhile have the dubious talent of being able to weave anything you can imagine out of string.

Please remember that the workshop materials that appear on this website were still in development when published, so they shouldn’t be taken as finished works. Cautionary Tale is a show about finding hope and spreading joy when all seems lost. We’ve lost our chance, for the time being, to work on developing the show as we had planned but we’d still like to share the joy. For a limited time, we’re sharing extracts from the score, lyrics, script, choreography and design of Cautionary Tale here so you can get a flavour of this show by reading, rehearsing and performing some of it in your own home. These works are copyright and the use of the materials posted here is strictly for personal, non-commercial use. Once we are ready to go back into production these resources will be removed.
