Frolicked

Frolicked is a puppet theatre company based in Yorkshire. We devise, design and create intimate and magical puppet shows for all ages. . .

Frolicked is an outdoor, puppet-orientated theatre company touring across Europe with engaging walkabout characters and magical static and site specific shows. Frolicked create unique and intimate experiences for all kinds of unusual spaces and places, with memorable, beautifully illustrated, self-made puppets and performances.

We have created puppet interventions for a variety of UK locations, including a ghost for the Bronte Museum in Haworth and an usher for the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. In 2010, we were commissioned by Lakes Alive (with support from the Arts Council) to produce an encounter with a collection of incredibly rare birds as part of a darkly different nature trail in woodlands across the North of England. Last year, we were one of ten companies chosen to perform as part of ‘Gone in 20 Minutes’; a programme in which we showcased our latest work at Create Festival in London and at Stockton International Riverside Festival.

Our shows are almost always improvised, heavily interactive and intimate experiences. . . Have you ever been Frolicked?

Frolicked is run by puppet maker and performer, Beka Haigh.
