Steve Tiplady, as Geppetto, uses the objects of a carpenter’s workshop to tell the tale of the puppet that wants to be a real boy, and the puppet-maker who wants to be a real father.&nbsp;



Pinocchio is carved on stage, brushes become a fox and the shadow of two saws transforms into a giant shark. An element of improvisation makes each performance unique to its audience.&nbsp;



Puppetry, shadows, illusion and especially composed music combine to create a show with something for all ages; it’s inventive, visually and verbally witty with a big heart.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.trinitytheatre.net/events/pinocchio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">For ages 4 and up, from&nbsp;£12</a>.
