Journey to a world of endless possibilities this festive season as Pinocchio comes to life in the iconic Globe Theatre at the end of the month from Saturday November 29.
A new musical for the whole family by Charlie Josephine and Jim Fortune this is a premiere for Pinocchio at William Shakespeare’s reconstructed Globe theatre in Bankside.
In the embrace of the wooden ‘O’ of the Globe Theatre, itself lovingly carved from a thousand oak trees, experience this unforgettable story of self-discovery, freedom and family, and share in the wonder of what it means to be human.
Dreaming of a life beyond the confines of his traditional town, restless maverick Gepetto carves a wooden puppet and calls him Pinocchio. Together, they embark on a series of adventures with a host of weird and wonderful characters as they teach each other how to love and build a community of their own.
A surprising, funny and heartfelt new musical for ages 5+ with book and lyrics by Charlie Josephine (I, Joan, Globe; Cowbois, RSC/ Royal Court), and music and lyrics by Jim Fortune (Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear, Hex, National). Globe Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes (Romeo and Juliet; The Merry Wives of Windsor, Globe) directs.
Pinocchio runs from November 29 til January 4 and tickets range from £5 to £75. Half-price seated tickets are available for under-16s at all performances.
