"I'll get a job and earn loads of money and buy you a new gold jacket..."

This Christmas, marvel at the magical tale of Geppeto, the kind-hearted wood carver, and Pinocchio, the naughty little wooden puppet he creates from a piece of enchanted wood.  Prepare yourself for the adventure of a lifetime, as the mischievous little mannequin gets himself into all kinds of trouble. Worst still, his nose grows with each fib and failure! Who knows if Pinocchio will ever learn his lesson? Will he achieve his wish to become a real boy? With the help of the Blue Fairy, he just might….

"Don't worry, father, I'll go to school and I'll learn to read and write, and then I'll get a job and earn loads of money and buy you a new gold jacket with diamond buttons and a little silver hat to keep your wig warm! And then, I'll become a real boy…."

With a bit of Blunderbus magic, this faithful retelling of Carlo Collodi’s timeless tale is funny, intelligent and highly visual, incorporating a cast of life-sized puppets, talented performers and enchanting music.

Come and join Pinocchio on his quest to become a real-life boy!
