About The Show "Short Cuts"
At the beginning of the evening there will be several short scenes, sometimes only pieces.
From those "Short-cuts" the audience chooses two or three scenes which they liked most.
Those scenes form the start for some longer stories to be created before your very eyes!

Each story contains within in it another story waiting to be told. The Storytellers Harold is a slightly different take on the classic Harold we all know and love. A collection of stories, some true, some not, woven together into a seamless piece of theatre bound to dumfound the senses and explode the imagination.
