Carlo Collodi’s magical tale Pinocchio is brought to life at the Chickenshed theatre this Christmas with a cast of over 200 people on stage.

From the moment old man Geppetto carves his little puppet, trouble abounds – Pinocchio wants to be a real boy! Pinocchio’s journey takes him from circus to school, from the strange world of Freetown to the ocean and back home again. Pursued by a devious fox and his sidekick, he must learn what it is to have the heart and soul of a human. Beset by dangers and pitfalls, Pinocchio makes his way through a surreal world of naughty children, magical princesses and crickets with a conscience.
