Making a welcome return to the Midlands, this highly acclaimed stage adaptation features ‘magical storytelling, bewitching stagecraft and incredible puppets’.

“We have this epic stage, and fantastic imagery,” says the production’s director, Michael Fentiman, “but there’s not a lot of literal depiction of location of the show. Instead, we’re asking the audience to take a leap with us. We work with an illusionist to try and do things that seem impossible. So the way we use magic and lighting and shift-of-focus achieves the possible from the seemingly impossible.”
