Following last year’s 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 misadventures 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 naïve, 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!
The Travelling Players promise you live action, music, surprises, a puppet or two, a lot of laughs and a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable adventure!
