Outdoor Theatre: Pinocchio

Join award-winning Illyria Theatre in the gardens at Hanbury Hall as they perform Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio on Saturday 1 August.

  • Booking essential

A wooden puppet runs away, hoping to find fun and adventure, but instead finds demanding bosses, con-artists and peer-pressure. Bombarded by money, games and other attention-grabbing attractions, how can Pinocchio ever become a real boy when even lies told to cover up awkward truths are as plain as the nose on his face?

Running time: 95-minutes (approx.), including a 20-minute interval

Suitability: Ages 5+ (younger children also welcome)
