School Pinocchio Dance
“A dazzling production” THE AUSTRALIAN
PINOCCHIO Based on the books by Carlo Collodi.
Once there was a lonely man with lots of love to give. He wanted a child so much that he carved himself a beautiful little boy. But the boy wanted the world and the latest designer sandshoes. He wanted fame, celebrity and to walk on the wild side. He was lured by temptation and the love of a blue girl. This woodenhead wanted more than his father could possibly give, and so he ran away to get it. This is his story... Based on the classic tale and boldly retold as a witty, gothic, rocking, family music theatre spectacular, Pinocchio is a contemporary celebration of the ‘whatever’ generation. A Windmill Theatre and State Theatre Company of South Australia co-production.
