Performed live on stage by an actor and ACO Families musicians, this reimagined tale is filled to the brim with joy, adventure and a little touch of magic.
There once was a boy who was made. And although his papa (who is also his sculptor) sees him as more than enough, he sees himself as less. Because he isn’t a real live boy. But he does have a gift. In a world of half-truths and fake news, his nose… knows.
So when he sets off into the world, Pinocchio finds that he can smell a rat. And also ride in a whale. And act like an ass (when he gets turned into one). And outwit a cat and outfox a fox. And eventually… save his papa, Geppetto.
And in doing all these things, he proves himself real and gets out alive. He becomes a real live boy… or does he?
Written by award-winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer (Magic Beach, Are We There Yet?), with an original score by Bryony Marks (Barracuda, Summer Heights High), and directed by Tim McGarry (There’s a Sea in My Bedroom, Boy Swallows Universe), Pinocchio is a celebration of courage, love and the spark that makes us human.
