According to a 2017 review from Broadway Baby ‘The Sleeping Trees are a trio composed of Joshua, who looks like all the hobbits in one face; John who’s a cross between Damien Lewis and Scraggy from Scooby Doo; and James, a hipster Ricky Gervais who sounds like a chain-smoking Pumba.’ Formed in 2009 at the University of Chichester, Sleeping Trees have made fourteen shows to date, performing in venues as diverse as the Royal Albert Hall, Soho Theatre, a curry house in Brick Lane, a funfair in Australia and a creche in Hastings. They took their first show Magic Faraway Tree to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2009 and haven’t missed a year since. On their 10th anniversary at the Fringe they realised they have spent more time living together than they have with their actual families!

“Rambunctious and properly laugh-out-loud funny” Broadway World“Whether you’re a child or an adult. I have the same piece of advice for you all. Go and see this show” Theatre Weekly“Sleeping Trees’ fairy-tale mash-up makes for a daft and delightfully inventive Christmas show” The Stage“A brilliant mash-up of children’s stories pulled together with energetic performances, comedy songs and bizarre theatrics” London Box Office
