Pinocchio

Original Story by Carlo Collidi
Adapted by Les Winspear

Pinocchio the cheeky wooden puppet wants to have fun and live life to the full, but most of all he wants to be a real boy. As he sets out to fulfil his dream he is soon tricked and led astray, then forced to learn life’s lessons the hard way.

This is a timeless tale of adventure, mischief, hope and magic. A vibrant journey of the imagination where anything is possible and trouble is just around the corner.

Big Monkey Theatre’s colourful adaptation by Les Winspear, has all the charm of the original story by Carlo Collidi, with a cast of madcap characters and catchy songs to carry you through one of the most renowned children’s stories of all time.
