Polly + Esther

Meet Polly and Esther. Two unexpected modern day superheroes, who travel the world in their menagerie gathering clothing and stories. They are on a mission to seam together the old into the new and reduce the clothing footprint on our planet. Their menagerie is powered by you, fuelled by your stories and ‘Esme” the one hundred year old crank sewing machine.

With needle and thread at the ready, Polly and Esther travel all over the countryside including festivals, country fairs, parks, small towns and the big smoke. This eccentric duo can pop-up in the most unexpected of places, inviting all to enter into their haberdashery wonderland and share in its magic. The audience are invited to create, experience, share and listen.
