Norwich Puppet Theatre presents – Thumbelina

The show is designed for children aged 2+ and their families. Our story is played out gently amongst gardening tools and is an excellent
introduction for young children and families
to the magic of theatre.

Andersen’s tale all about the adventures of a tiny girl no bigger than a thumb is brought to life using a combination of rod puppets, glove puppets and shadow play alongside music, movement and singing. The show’s simple design combines with great traditional storytelling and character acting to portray the tale of a girl who is so tiny that she can float on a lily pad and ride on the back of a dragonfly. We follow the tiny heroine’s adventures and encounters with a toad, a mouse, a mole and a swallow on her journey to find freedom and happiness.

Showing at Grand Junction on Friday 28th October, at 10:30 and 13:30.
