Pinocchio

Sun 21 Feb · 14:30

Steve Tiplady, as Geppetto, uses the objects of a carpenter’s workshop to tell the tale of the puppet that wants to be a real boy, and the puppet-maker who wants to be a real father. Pinocchio is carved on stage, brushes become a fox and the shadow of two saws transforms into a giant shark. An element of improvisation makes each performance unique to its audience.Puppetry, shadows, illusion and especially composed music combine to create a show with something for all ages; it’s inventive, visually and verbally witty with a big heart. “Wonderful work that celebrates the possibilities of theatre” — Lyn Gardner, The Guardian “Truly magical…captivating…hauntingly real” — The Scotsman Presented by Indefinite Articles Book Now Times 14:30 Price £14 Adult£12 Child Duration 60 minutes, no interval Age 4+ Space The Robert Bolt Theatre
