SUMMARY:Pinocchio - Outdoor Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Pinocchio\nby Carlo Collodi\, adapted by Oliver Gray. \nCarlo 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. \nChildless 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. Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful well-seasoned wood – a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire. \nIllyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show. \nTicket prices: \nAdult (Ages 16+): £20\nChild (Ages 3-15\, under 3s Free): £12\nConcession (student/NUS card holders\, aged 60+\, disabled): £16\nFamily (2A+2C): £55\nCarer*: Free\nBook your tickets HERE or by calling 01455 290429. \nPre-booking is advised. \nDoors: 5pm \nShow Starts: 6pm \nRunning time: 95-minutes (approx.)\, including a 20-minute interval. \nRecommended for ages 5+ (younger children also welcome). \nThis is an outdoor event\, please dress appropriate to the weather. Low-backed seating\, blankets\, picnics and well-behaved dogs on leads welcome. Light refreshments will be available for purchase. \n*carer must be accompanied by their cared-for person\, who must also possess a valid ticket. \nWe try to make every event as accessible and inclusive as possible. If you would like to discuss the accessibility of this event\, please contact us on 01455290429 or email us at 1620s@leics.gov.uk
