“The Elves and the Shoemaker”

Joy and laughter with our playful, interactive retelling of the Grimm Brothers magical story. A great way to introduce your little ones to live theatre.

A poor shoemaker lays out his last piece of leather, and goes wearily to bed. Two unruly elves appear and work all night to transform the leather into a perfect pair of handmade shoes.

A show about the power of kindness. Packed with puppets, music and footwear.

Best suited to ages 3 - 7

45 mins + meet the actors and the puppets after the show
