Moss Side. 1976. The year of the Great Heatwave and Pinocchio’s on the run. In a ramshackle shop his father Elijah, the toymaker, waits.

Will Pinocchio ever return to make him proud?

Award-winning director and choreographer Benji Reid joins writer Mary Cooper to produce this fast, funny and magical show for all the family. Featuring body-popping and puppetry, music and animation, this is a retelling of Carlo Collodi’s children’s classic like no other.

Perfect for teenagers and anyone aged 7+
