THIS BEING BUT A BRIEF SKETCH OF RATTLEBOX THEATRE

I have professional experience in storytelling, puppetry and acting, I can provide a variety of performances to suit all manner of events.

Based in Devon, Rattlebox Theatre is a flexible medium. Small or large events can be catered for, with prices to suit all pockets.  I have my own puppet and storytelling shows, or can even create a new show or feature specific to your needs, so feel free to explore to find out more.

Rattlebox Theatre is run by myself - Dave Oliver.  Whilst I often work as a one-man show, I sometimes perform with a collection of talented storytellers, musicians and artists on larger projects.
 
I graduated from Bretton Hall College with a BA Hons in Dramatic Arts and Dramatic Presentation.  Since then, combining my love and knowledge of performance, history, folklore, prop making and puppetry, I have developed a lively performance style and detailed, often fantastical look to my work - whether it be walkabout character, a puppet creation or costumed storytelling.

"Your performances were superb and the props were especially well made and convincing! The shows went down really well with both children and adults alike."
