This year Black Shuck Festival welcomes back amazing Theatre Company Rust and Stardust who will present their mystical drama The Green Children of Woolpit, a show for all ages, featuring a magical blend of puppetry, drama and music.

In the Suffolk village of Woolpit, two mysterious children with green-tinged skin are found by the wolf pits. Are they from a strange land? Are they fairy folk? Or are they simply, and inexplicably, green?

The Green Children of Woolpit is based on a 12th century wonder tale from Suffolk, dating from the reign of King Stephen, about a boy and girl who spoke in an unknown language and, after being adopted, explained that they had come from a land where the sun never shone, and the light was always like twilight.

A lyrical exploration of love, loss and otherness, The Green Children of Woolpit invites us to ask, is magic truly real, or is the real truly magic?
