Pinocchio: The Boy Within

Carlo Collodi’s classic story tells of the impoverished carpenter who lovingly carves a puppet son, Pinocchio. Magically springing to life but struggling with the ?truth’ he embarks on a journey facing moral temptation and mortal peril. Finding that his nose grows with every lie he tells, Pinocchio ultimately overcomes all obstacles to find ‘the boy within.’ This adaptation packed with humour focusses on the human bonds of friendship, family and compassion. The timeless setting seems an unlikely and somewhat ‘grubby’ backdrop for our heroes but it is one capable of showing that ‘magic truly is a wonderful thing.’
