A CLASSIC folktale about imagination and greed comes leaping, splattering and boogying onto the stage of Theatre Royal Winchester on Sunday.

The Magic Paintbrush is a new dance show following the adventure of a girl living in a world made grey by greed. She is given a paintbrush that magically brings paintings to life. Can her colourful imagination bring back joy and hope?

Inspired by an ancient Chinese folktale, choreographer Darren Ellis has created a vibrant show that explodes with energy, surprises and fun. Video and a beatboxing-style soundtrack accompanying four energetic dancers in a show suitable for anyone aged three plus.

Tickets for 11.30am and 2.30pm showings are available from 01962 840440 or theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk
