Forkbeard Fantasy

Forkbeard Fantasy is a British multimedia arts company, based in Dorset, that began as an experimental performance art group in 1974, founded by brothers Chris and Tim Britton. Between 1974 and 2010 it made touring theatre productions, largely performed by Chris and Tim.[1] Lyn Gardner, reviewing The Colour of Nonsense (2010) in The Guardian, described the company as long having had a "mixture of madness and creativity".[2]
