Cornish Caretakers present A History of Cornwall

7 MARCH 11:00

Join us for a Fun, Family-Friendly St Piran’s Festival Show at The Creation Works.

Celebrate St Piran’s Day with a lively 40 minute family friendly show packed with humour, history, and the best of Cornish storytelling.

After performing to thousands of primary-aged children over the past five years, The Cornish Caretakers are bringing their hilarious and informative live theatre show to The Creation Works for the first time! 

The Cornish Caretakers look after and share wonderful stories from Cornish history to children and their families – from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the absurd to the sensible, from the joyous to the tragic. 

The Cornish Caretakers ‘A History of Cornwall’ stars Edward Rowe (Cornwall’s Kernow King!) and Mimi.

Expect a warm, funny, and engaging performance exploring fascinating figures from Cornish history. Perfect for anyone who loves a good story.

“This is way better than Netflix!” — Darcy, aged 10

We can’t wait for you to join us!

Written and Performed by Alex Robins. Directed by Jon Nash.

‘Meet Mayor Max’ was developed with support from Exeter Northcott Theatre’s Elevate Programme.

TESTIMONIAL

"The Creation Works is a truly special place. They have created a warm, welcoming community hub that has considered the needs of artists every step of the way. With their support we were able to push into creative territory we wouldn't have been able to otherwise, and we left our residency feeling recharged and re-energised."
