SUMMARY:Unity Theatre: Unity Theatre: The Story Forge: Make Your Own Myth
DESCRIPTION:Hilarious family-friendly show invites Liverpool to ‘Make You
 r Own Myth’\n\nAward-winning theatre company\, Rubbish Shakespeare Compa
 ny are joining forces with Silly History Boys to proudly present the first
  UK Tour of The Story Forge: Make Your Own Myth - a hilarious hour of high
 -octane adventure\, told through their distinctive fusion of clowning\, si
 lly storytelling\, physical comedy and live music.\n\nThe Story Forge: Mak
 e Your Own Myth is an immersive\, all-ages family show\, where two larger-
 than-life history professors and a live musician make new myths from child
 ren's ideas. Audiences will be led through a triptych of tales: the origin
  of the place they live\; the creation myth of a donated item\; and a hero
 's journey - where an audience member will prove themselves a legend.\n\nS
 o... who is the God of dog poo bags? What ancient crime was Marmite the pu
 nishment for... and why was it inflicted upon us? Will it be Greek? Viking
 ? Ancient Babylonian? They haven't a clue! This silly iliad - or silliad\,
  if you will - is completely unique every single time it's performed\, as 
 three new myths are forged from the unhinged minds of the audience - and a
  boatload of cardboard props!\n\n‘Horrible Histories on Steroids’ ★
 ★★★★ The Reviews Hub\n\nThis hysterical production is a true maste
 rclass in clowning\, jam packed full of silly songs\, daft gags and belly 
 laughs\; whether you're 6 or 106\, you'd be mad to myth it!\n\n'An hour of
  non-stop\, high-energy enchantment... A rare and genuine delight' ★★
 ★★ Deborah Cho\, The List\n\nThe Rubbish Shakespeare Company productio
 n team are adept at transposing classic stories for a young audience - the
 ir last tour of Romeo and Juliet saw them appear at many notable venues in
 cluding The Pleasance in Edinburgh\, and show runs were extended at both L
 eeds Playhouse and London's West End\, garnering great reviews and audienc
 e feedback.\n\n‘One of the best productions of Romeo and Juliet this rev
 iewer has ever seen - and one I haven’t stopped talking about’ ★★
 ★★ Broadway World\n\nProduced to chime with Rubbish Shakespeare Compan
 y's mission of 'Theatre for All'\, this 'choose your own adventure tale' w
 as developed in response to a lack of new stories for children. Using a fl
 exible scripted framework\, each show will reflect the local community\, a
 s stories are drawn from their imaginations and experiences.\n\nWhile the 
 storyline is inspired by the ancient classics - giving audiences a recogni
 sable starting point - each show allows children to make original stories\
 , whilst also providing a first time performance experience for many young
  people.\n\n"It's been a blast! Sharing the stage with these amazing child
 ren is incredible\, you really see them light up and come alive. As a perf
 ormer\, this has been one of the most fun and rewarding shows I've ever be
 en a part of. Honestly\, the kids steal the show every time\, and we would
 n't have it any other way! They're the real stars\, not us. You really see
  how naturally storytelling comes to kids. We created The Story Forge larg
 ely because children just aren't being exposed to enough new stories. That
  New National Literacy Trust study really hit home - only 35% of 8–18-ye
 ar-olds actually read for pleasure? That's crazy! We think a big reason is
  the lack of fresh\, original stories out there for them. So we're doing o
 ur bit to change that by creating three brand new stories every show!"\nLe
 e Hithersay - Artistic Director of Rubbish Shakespeare Co.
