Illyria Theatre – Pinocchio

Carlo Collodi’s classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883, and has never been out of print.

Join Illyria Theatre this summer as they celebrate this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.

Childless toymaker Geppetto makes a wooden puppet – little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers. He returns home hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasn’t worked; lying won’t work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves.

Recommended for ages 5+ (younger children also welcome). 

More information about the performance, ticket prices and how to book can be found on Illyria Theatre’s Ticket Source page.
