Mischief was Theatre-Rites first major collaboration with a choreographer and Sadler's Wells first commission of a family show. Working with contemporary dancers and puppeteers an unpredictable world of foam was created accompanied by the sounds of Charlie Winston.
Mischief was originally commissioned by Sadler's Wells and the Dance Touring Partnership with funding from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Grants for the Arts. The 2009 tour was further supported by the Jerwood Space and Lighthouse Arts Centre, Poole.
