FOREST Forge Theatre and Bumblefly Theatre Company are joining forces again this year in a magical collaboration to bring a very Christmassy tour of The Elves and the Shoemaker to venues throughout the New Forest and beyond.
The Elves and the Shoemaker is one of our favourite stories adapted by David Haworth, weaving, stitching and shoe horning in the other traditional tales!
Business is slow for the shoemaker and his wife, their shoes aren’t exactly walking out of the door and just when they are wondering what to do, something magical happens.
This exciting production offers storytelling at its best. The shoemaker is mixed with other fairytales old and new; the shop is visited by Prince Charming, Puss in Boots and the Wicked Witch of the West and many more! Can the shoemaker provide footwear to match the Emperor’s New Clothes? And how do you make a glass slipper? Perhaps with a pinch of magic and some friendly elves!
The tour kicks off at Greyfriars Community Centre in Ringwood tomorrow at 2.30pm, followed by the Elves cast switching on the Christmas Lights in Ringwood at 6pm.
Call 01425 472613 for tickets for this show.
The show is touring until January 21 2017. For a full schedule visit forestforgetheatre.co.uk or bumbleflytheatre.co.uk.
