Short King has banned shadows from his entire kingdom. It hasn't helped. Short King is an adventure about a tiny ruler with a very big grief, and the quest that forces him to finally face it. Featuring shadow puppetry and live audience participation, it's a wildly theatrical show about loss, courage, and why our shadows are nothing to be afraid of. For brave young adventurers and the grown-ups beside them.
