Get ready for a refreshing and fantastical adventure! This award-winning show will defy your expectations and warm your heart.
Join our hero Toral on the adventure of a lifetime as she swims uncrossable rivers, braves impassable forests and scales unclimbable mountains, all to fight a great and terrible dragon.
The Suitcase Storytelling company blends oral tradition storytelling with found object theatre to create folk tale-style stories with diverse characters and progressive narratives. Fans of Pixar are in
for a treat, as this witty and subversive show will delight audiences young and old alike.
Performed by the delightfully talented Niall Moorjani and Minnie Wilkinson, this story proves that heroes can come from anywhere and villains aren’t always what they seem.
This show was funded by Arts Council England.

The Suitcase Storytelling Company
The Suitcase Storytelling Company was founded in 2019 by expert storytellers Niall Moorjani and Minnie Wilkinson. Their work blends found object theatre with oral tradition storytelling to simultaneously explore the deeply heartfelt and the wonderfully whimsical, bringing joy to their audiences through original folk tale-style stories with progressive narratives.
In 2022 their debut show 'The Girl and the Dragon' toured the UK, gaining both critical and audience acclaim. They were also given the award for Best Children's Show by the Derek Awards for their run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022.
They are keen to engage with children and families that don’t often see themselves represented on stage, and bringing storytelling up to date to reflect the diversity of our own world is at the core of their practice.
