The Story of The Willow Pattern

“Long, long ago in a land of lanterns and lotus blossoms in a blue pagoda beside a weeping willow tree there lived a mighty Mandarin…….” With beautiful scenery transforming from scene to scene Treasure Trove Puppet Company bring this classic story to life in a stunning 50 minute performance using glove puppets and imaginative staging based on the designs of the willow pattern. A visit to Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery to see this wonderful performance is combined with a chance to visit the new ‘Magical World of Masks & Puppets’ exhibition in the museum’s special exhibitions gallery. Children will also take part in a short art workshop to make and design a ‘story plate’ to take back to school.
