This week will see the first performance of Gloucester Guildhall’s adaptation of the classic story of Pinocchio.

Produced by Strike A Light and presented by the Guildhall, the production is supported by the Great Place Scheme and Arts Council England, and forms part of the city’s puppetry themed winter programme, alongside the Christmas Lantern Procession and the Museum of Gloucester’s William Simmonds exhibition.

Jim Lockey, Gloucester Guildhall Events and Marketing Officer said: "Families can expect a thrilling journey complete with live music, singing and puppetry, the family theatre show will appear at the Eastgate Street venue throughout the festive period.

"With a fresh new script and original songs, the play tells the story of Pinocchio’s adventure to become a real boy. On a quest to make this happen, he falls into a wild adventure with dodgy foxes, a fun factory, a nosy cricket, a blue fairy and a whale at the bottom of the ocean."

Pinocchio’s adventure takes place at Gloucester Guildhall on dates between Friday 6th December 2019 and Saturday 4th January 2020.
