Details

The popular story by the Brothers Grimm. It's wintertime and the two old shoemakers have no money to buy food or fuel, let alone presents for each other. But their generosity and kindness are repaid in a strange and wonderful way. Elvis Schumacher, cobbler and craftsman, has worked hard all his life creating the most beautiful footwear. But now he's hit tricky times - everyone's buying boring shoes from the evil businessman, Bunyan Sole-less. Time is running out for Elvis. With one piece of leather left and Bunyan's factory growing, can anyone help him? This well-known and much loved tale has been re-heeled by Theatre of Widdershins in their own inimitable and dynamic style. Beautifully crafted puppets, sublime music, a kaleidoscope of miniature shoes and a comic mouse, make this a magical must-see.
