Pinocchio
29 August 2024 to 01 September 2024
About Pinocchio
A Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company production
Directed by Niki McCretton
Music by Dom Coyote | With additional music by Tim Dalling
Starring Tim Dalling, Jenny Harrold and Daniel Rejano
Three very funny men seek refuge in a grand but abandoned old house; one of them is Pinocchio, and it turns out he’s had quite a life.
Children’s creativity is said to be at the heart of Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company’s productions, and it is very apparent in its fun and inventive offering of Pinocchio.
This adaptation combines classic elements of the story – a poor woodcarver, the tell-tale growing nose, the dream of becoming a real boy – with their hallmark hilarity, skilled puppetry, original music, fantastic staging, outstanding performers and extraordinary physical tricks.
Invest in your children’s imaginations and take playfulness home with you.
