Pinnochio - Orange Tree Theatre
A re-telling of the classic tale created by the theatre's Community director, Liam Shea.
It follows the story of Hugo, who is bored, lonely and needs a friend, with the result his mum tries to help by making him his very own Pinocchio puppet.
The two are then set on an adventure to the top of a snowy mountain, out to pleasure island and into the belly of a wiggly whale!
The fun and interactive show is designed for all ages and offers a mixture of puppetry and original music.
The show, which stars Nathan Queeley-Dennis and Fiona Drummond, runs from December 14-18.
