Outdoor theatre: Illyria present Pinocchio at Hatchlands Park
Bring a picnic, sit back and enjoy Carlo Collodi’s classic story of Pinocchio as Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.
- Booking essential
Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a 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.
Running time is approximately 95 minutes (including a 20 minute interval).
