Following last years production of A Christmas Carol, the Travelling Players return with yet another thrilling festive show. This year they turn their quirky storytelling, song, merriment and mischief to the wonderful mis-adventures of Pinocchio! The story of a wooden marionette who wants to become a real boy.
Pinocchio has a nose that grows with each little fib, is naive, stubborn, thoughtless and very easily led; so watch as he falls in with the rascally fox and cat, gasp as he flies on the back of a pigeon, marvel as he is swallowed by a giant shark, doubt as he waits for gold coins to grow on a vine and wonder as he is turned into a donkey … if he will ever become a real boy!
We promise you live action, music, surprises, a puppet or two, a lot of laughs and a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable adventure!
