An interactive, improvised storytelling performance investigating a long lost mystery bag. Help MakeyUppers to discover who owns it and how it ended up so lost for so long.

CSI (Curious Story Investigators) Rita Book and Goodie Reed have stumbled upon a long lost mystery bag and need help in their investigation to discover who owns it and how it ended up so lost for so long.

Sorcha Shanahan and Gemma Walker-Farren are experienced actors and facilitators who will lead this interactive performance in character as "Curious Story Investigators".

They arrive with a mystery bag of objects which will form the basis of a prop-based storytelling workshop. The participants are guided through various steps towards making up a mini story about who owned the mystery bag and where it came from. This story will then inspire an original spontaneous performance led by the two actors with the participants providing additional dialogue and sound effects.

The show is interactive and very entertaining, different every time so a unique show for every audience.

Suitable for all ages and abilities (touring in primary schools, care homes, for deaf groups and blind groups, adults with learning disabilities, family groups, parent and toddler, older groups, womens' groups).

"An interactive performance of storytelling and craic unlike anything you will have seen before!"
