Alf the Highwayman was devised in 2016 and toured until 2019, visiting schools, libraries, venues, fringe and folk festivals.

Alf has an eye for other people’s possessions. Especially belongings of sentimental value. He snatches and grabs without a thought for other people’s feelings. ​But it’s time for him to change tack and learn that there are better ways to play!

Roll up, set a sail and join Alf as he gallops through the blustery wood, along the seashore and revels in wonder as the circus comes to town . . .

Full of imaginative play, original songs and vibrant characters, 'Alf the Highwayman’ is a show for all the family with plenty of chances to join in and no frights!

"Alf is a highly engaging and accessible piece of family theatre, brought to life with beautiful song and simple yet clever staging. The message is delivered with fun and gentle humour. Highly recommended for all ages!"
Jacqueline Avery
Elderflower Fields Festival

“Alf The Highwayman is a captivating musical story, something the whole family will enjoy. The actors seamlessly transform from role to role using only a handful of costume and props to create a unique atmosphere. Brave Bold Drama were a pleasure to work with at all times and their talents won the hearts of everyone at Farmfest!”
Laura Bozic
FarmFest, Somerset

"Brave Bold Drama put on a fantastic two person show. They kept the whole audience (including toddlers!) transfixed for nearly a full hour. The characters and the songs were very memorable. Both actors are great musical performers who really engaged the crowd. I would highly recommend this company for their professional approach and their musical, interactive show."
