Matipo Arts: Asha and the Troll (Cressing Temple Barns)

Back in the olden times, when children could do as they pleased, there was a house, on the edge of the forest.

Asha and The Troll is a theatre performance for five to eight-year-olds in which storytellers unfold a world of forests, friendship, puppetry, percussion, and … trolls!

Follow Asha as she meets an unlikely friend and learns to love their differences.

Proudly supported by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund.

Part of the Essex Book Festival Midsummer Madness Family Fun Day.
