Greenwich Theatre showcase productions of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase and Pinocchio
Greenwich Theatre are showcasing two productions for children this summer.
An adaptation of Joan Aiken’s novel The Wolves of Willoughby Chase will run alongside a retelling of family favourite Pinocchio.
Directed by Greenwich Theatre’s artistic director James Haddrell, the productions will combine captivating music and magical storytelling for some much-needed escapism.
The Wolves of Willoughby Chase tells the story of two brave and determined girls as they encounter unforgettable characters, take on ferocious wolves and battle through snowy Wastelands.
Bonnie, Sylvia, and their friend Simon the Goose-boy realise that the wolves roaming the forests outside may not be as dangerous as the wolfish adults plotting inside.
Carlo Collodi’s iconic tale of a talking puppet, Pinocchio, has been adapted specifically for Greenwich Theatre by Anthony Clark.
Packed with puppetry, a wood-influenced score, and a sense of adventure, the production is a beautiful reimagining of the original material.
The shows will run in rep from Thursday, August 5 to Sunday, September 5.
Tickets are available at www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk
