Well what a weekend! It started with the biggest thunderstorm any of us had ever seen (let alone camped through), and we were all very thankful that the heaviest downpour held off until our last tent peg was in. And then a night of thunderclaps and heavily leaking tents (and Theatre Rushers crawling from tent to tent in the dark trying to find a dry place to sleep!). And with just a few hours kip under our berets, we scrabbled the barrow together between rainy onslaughts, donned very damp costumes and wondered how we would ever squeeze some creativity out of sleepy, soggy festival goers.....
Oh, but how wrong we were. Larmer Tree, you blew our SOCKS off with your weird and wonderful creations! And so, without further ado, here it is- what you've all been waiting for. It's our ONE WORD STOOOOORRRRRYYYY! (No suprises really that thunder is a running theme).
THE LARMER TREE 2014 ONE WORD STORY
Once Upon Bob, exploded pineapples, BOOM! Jellyfish suddenly landed on planet, “Llama Exotic”. Satisfactory ate delicious tropical fruit (Papaya). However, Swagalicious penguins enjoy eating fish and seals but unbelievably, Henry flushed! Flabergasted, pandiculated, he remonstrated with Father Christmas who was drunk. Bangers! Look! Martians!
Suddenly pyjamas rained inside an elephant’s trunk. What? Where? Here? Hawaii! So… we drummed vigorously on the tummy of the giant! With a thunderous roar the giant’s hunger grows. Unfortunately famine erupted unexpectedly. The polar bear farted very nanishly and then died.
Suddenly, Billy began turning away from responsibility and jumped all fences. But then catastrophe! The polar spaceship collided with pandas until a light erupted. Fortunately, outlandish smells, Rhubarb wine with ice. The stinky toilets need cleaning.
My dog regularly regurgitates asbestos which hurts. But he is an ogre. He was rehabilitated. incredibly, cabbage gets eaten by the monster called Arnold. Suddenly lightning struck, instantly shocking a teapot, turning it into a cat.
Turnips ran around stones, fabulously undulating whilst singing, live, discombobulated monkeys bounced into trees. Tarzan banged his head, then put frozen beans into his underpants. His mother worried about the boy, because he was being naughty.
Then the bump smacked into Papua New Guinea, then the monster exploded and fell onto a tight rope, when suddenly, without thinking, a mad faith burped gently. Suddenly, mermaids swarmed around bees under an airbed. Conveniently there was an elephant with an enormous bottom who screamed with joy.
“Oh no!” shouted Bob(!) Marley, who teleported to Rome, where his big porcupine ate him. The Roman’s hobby blew button rings and then melted into a confusing blob of bras. Yellow badgers went black and also bought penguins. Together, penguins poo in harmony. Confusingly, alarmingly, but instantly, when Communism strikes, pugs cheer!
Woefully, with hedge and hog, “Budiga-Turkey-Cake” went to the supermarket. The Marleen cradled an alpaca and became a zombie. Instantaneously the Spanish Armada sank- then or etc…..
Bob thought supercalafragalisticexpialadociously of Bruno. Sadistic clouds and adfenesrating advertisers attacked a chicken. Catastrophically immense! Then a gargantuan tadpole grew a pink horn and thrusted ever more. Eventually, the tadpole leapt into a frog and kissed the Princess Randombottom lightly upon her painted toe.
THE END!
