Details
Geppetto, the old wood carver, sets to work making a puppet out of an old piece of wood. But something magical happens. The puppet comes to life! This is the tale of the mischievous and cheeky Pinocchio. No matter how hard he tries to be good, he just keeps getting in to trouble. And he can't hide the fact that he's telling tales because his nose gives him away by growing longer and longer. Pinocchio may be carved out of wood but he just wants to have fun, all day, every day. As he magically comes to life Pinocchio soon finds himself caught up in a world of danger and temptation. Will he learn what it takes to be a real boy - before it’s too late? This much loved children’s classic comes to new, sparkling life in a fresh and hilariously funny adaptation by Children’s Laureate and Polka Patron Michael Rosen (We’re Going on a Bear Hunt) featuring a talented cast of actor-musicians singing and playing rousing live on-stage music. Let Polka entertain you this winter with the perfect seasonal treat, for schools, families and puppets with long noses. It's fantastically feel-good traditional family fun! Age Range 6-13 years. Duration 2 hours inclu. interval.
