Faeries is a stage production featuring puppetry, dance and storytelling, suitable for all the family. Set during World War II, the plot follows the adventures of Edie, a young girl who finds herself lost in Kensington Park one evening. The production design takes its cue from the art of Arthur Rackham, with gnarled twisted trees and impish Faeries. The show has just finished a short run in London, and will now be performed at Bath’s Theatre Royal from July 22nd to 30th.

From Wales comes self taught sculptor Sara Rhys who makes utterly charming little Faerie Folk. Each semi-poseable doll is unique, with hand sculpted face, hands and feet and a hand stitched outfit. Every one has their own distinct character and I wouldn’t be surprised if they arrived with more than a little Faerie magic!

Bruce Kiltz is a photographer based in the USA who uses digital photography and manipulation along with 3D graphics programmes to create his fantasy art. Most striking is his series of silhouettes against leaves, as if a real glimpse of Faerie has been captured. All the images are available as open edition prints via the website.
