Production details
A boy is given a present of twelve tin soldiers on Christmas Day. One soldier is different from the rest... so begins the story of a very special toy and his extraordinary journey. Rod Burnett, an internationally renowned puppeteer and storyteller, uses his formidable skills in a faithful retelling of Hans Andersen's masterpiece. Clockwork toys, hand carved puppets, live music and atmospheric lighting bring this story vividly alive. Often funny, sometimes sad, this is a spellbinding performance for all ages, asking questions about love, danger, growing older and how extraordinary things can happen in the imagination. Studio
