Upfront Puppet Theatre’s summer production is Pinocchio.
Join the wooden puppet who longs to be a real boy in this adventure, suitable for ages four to 94!
This very special summer show at Upfront, near Hutton-in-the-Forest, uses a mixture of long string marionettes and rod puppets.
Pinocchio is carved on stage, comes alive and sets off on his many adventures.
He performs on a marionette stage within the puppet show meeting two clowns, Harlequin and Pulcinell; he is tricked by a cat and a fox into burying and losing his newly earned money; he flies on the back of a pigeon and he is chased and swallowed by a huge shark.
Finally, of course, the magic Blue Fairy lends a hand because Pinocchio has learnt to be good and at the very end he becomes a real boy.
The show has specially composed music by local musician Bill Lloyd.
At 2.30pm every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday until September 3.
Tickets: Adults £10, Children £8.50, Family £33 (2 adults & 2 children or 1 adult & 3 children).
