About Us

Frolicked is an outdoor, puppet-orientated theatre company touring across Europe with engaging walkabout, static and site specific performances. Frolicked produce magical and intimate experiences with memorable, self-designed, beautifully illustrated and hand-made puppet characters.

We have created puppet interventions for a variety of UK locations, including a ghost for the Bronte Museum in Haworth and an usher for the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester. In 2010, we were commissioned by Lakes Alive (with support from the Arts Council) to produce an encounter with a collection of incredibly rare birds as part of a darkly different nature trail in woodlands across the North of England. Last year, we were one of ten companies chosen to perform as part of ‘Gone in 20 Minutes’; a programme in which we showcased our latest work at Create Festival in London and at Stockton International Riverside Festival.

Our shows are almost always improvised, heavily interactive and intimate experiences... Have you ever been Frolicked?

Frolicked is run by puppet maker and performer, Beka Haigh.

Penny Cunningham - performer and technician
Chris Haigh - writer and performer
