Pinocchio
Aimed at ages 5-11
Step inside Geppetto’s workshop and hear the tale of a puppet that wants to be a real boy, and a puppet maker who wants to be a real father. Watch as Pinocchio is carved on stage, paint brushes come to life as foxes and the shadow of two saws transform into a giant fish.
An element of improvisation adds to the magic, as no two performances are exactly the same.
Puppetry, shadows, illusion and original music combine to create a show that is inventive, witty and has a big heart.

Age guidance
Pinocchio is aimed at ages 5 – 11. Children at the younger end of the range can enjoy the adventures of a naughty puppet and the participation and visual aspects of the show. Older audience members can enjoy the improvisation and slapstick humour. There is mild threat from a circus owner and a scary shadow scene with a large fish just before the happy ending.

Persephone - a Tale of the Seasons (performance for babies)
Fly with a spring butterfly, as the plants begin to grow, the birds build their nests and the days get longer – will there be an April shower? Hop through the meadow with a summer rabbit, watching the flowers bloom and feel the heat of the sun. See the leaves change colour and fall to the ground as our autumnal squirrel stores his winter nuts. Hear the robin chirp a merry tune, as it gets colder and the days draw in. Which animals hibernate? And will you be able to catch a snowflake on your tongue?
Aimed at ages 6 to 18 months
