Pinocchio

22 Nov 2010 - 24 Dec 2010 / Studio Theatre

Geppetto uses the objects of a carpenter’s workshop to tell the tale of the puppet that wants to be a real boy, and the puppet-maker who wants to be a real father.

Puppetry, shadows, illusion and especially composed music combine to create a show with something for all ages; it’s inventive, visually and verbally witty with a big heart. Pinocchio is carved on stage, brushes become a fox and the shadow of two saws transforms into a giant shark. An element of improvisation makes each performance unique to its audience.

Award winning Indefinite Articles are at the forefront of the new wave of British puppetry and its members have worked with the RSC Improbable Theatre and the Mighty Boosh.
