The Elves and the Shoemakers

Directed by Sarah Brigham (Hansel and Gretel, The Owl and the Pussycat). Music by Ivan Stott (Hansel and Gretel, The Owl and the Pussycat). Designed by Bek Palmer.

This Christmas The Berry Theatre and Theatre Hullabaloo present The Elves and the Shoemakers in a new version by Olivier Award winning playwright Mike Kenny.

A tale of magic and mischief for children aged 3 years and above and their grown-ups.

Once, there were two shoemakers who were very old and very poor, so poor they couldn't even afford to buy Christmas presents for each other. With no wood for their fire and only one piece of leather left to make a final pair of shoes, there was little festive cheer on Christmas Eve in the shoemakers' shop on the corner.

But that night, just as the snow drifted down outside and the clock struck midnight, two little Elves decided to spread a little bit of magic which would make a whole lot of difference.

Live music, puppetry, physical storytelling and a bit of Elf magic combine to tell this classic tale.
