In Conversation with Babbling Vagabonds

Babbling Vagabonds are a rurally based theatre company who were formed in 2000 by Phil Coggins, Mark Hornsey, and Tara Hornsey-Saunders.  From their base in the Peak District National Park they have created over thirty original productions which have been presented in a variety of traditional and non-traditional venues throughout the UK.

They create family friendly work rooted in folklore and fairytale, told through clowning, puppetry, shadowplay, mask, music, circus and storytelling. They are currently working on a number of outdoor productions to be presented in the green spaces of our home town of Buxton and a large-scale circus show for Summer 2022. In June they will be working on Awakenings with our BA (hons) Acting & Performance students.
