A new take on the classic Pinocchio tale, a perfect chance to enjoy a family trip to the theatre in Nottingham.

Three very funny men seek refuge in a grand but abandoned old house. Grandfather, father and son tell tales of growing up; one of them used to be Pinocchio and it turns out he’s had quite a life!

Using the classic elements of this tale – a poor woodcarver, the tell-tale growing nose, the dream of becoming a real boy – Stuff and Nonsense add their hallmark hilarity, cleverness, puppetry, music, incredible staging, outstanding performers and extraordinary physical tricks, in their most ambitious production to date.
