Oxfordshire Theatre Company

Written by Richard Hurford

When an old washerwoman goes down to the riverbank to scrub clothes, she sees a giant peach bobbing towards her! When she takes the peach home and cuts it open out pops a baby boy with superhuman powers. So starts the incredible story of Momotaro - the Peach Boy and his struggle to find his place in a world that no longer believes in heroes. Accompanied by Dog, Pheasant and Monkey (and his mother's miraculous dumplings) they must go on a quest to save the village from dastardly demons and marvellous monsters.

This new production promises to delight audiences of all ages with its wonderful range of characters, fusion of puppetry and live performance, movement and design, all inspired by the East. Peach Boy is a thrilling epic of growing up, idealism, friendship, heroism, daring deeds and comic misadventures.

Richard Hurford has written for many companies including the Crucible, Sheffield (where he was writer in residence), Pilot Theatre, Theatre Royal York and BBC Radio 4.
