Children’s classic brought to life at Rotherham Theatres

Adapted from the classic Italian story by Collodi, the show follows the adventure of that likeable rascal Pinocchio. "Only good sons have a chance of becoming real boys" warns the cricket. But try as he might, Pinocchio the puppet cannot stay out of trouble.

Audiences will be led into a magical set that can be transformed into Geppetto's workshop, the wild wood, Toyland and even the inside of a shark!

The play captures the magic of the original story and is performed with hand-carved puppets and original music and songs.

Rotherham Theatres Manager, Mark Scott, said: "This is great choice for all the family. Everyone remembers learning about the story of Pinocchio, the wooden boy who longs to become real. It's a great experience for parents to share with their children.

"The show is ideal for a child's first visit to the theatre, and great fun for all of us who are a little bit older. Once children experience the magic of theatre, they will want to come back again and again." 

Suitable for children aged 3 upwards and their families.

Pinocchio will be taking to the stage of the Rotherham Arts Centre Studio Theatre on Saturday October 2 at 2.30pm. Tickets are priced at £6, concessions £5.
