The Elves and the Shoemaker

by Theatre of Widdershins

Preview · Wed 5 Aug – Thu 6 Aug2 for 1 · Mon 10 Aug – Tue 11 Aug3+

Ah, new shoes... Delightful on the feet. Soft dancing slippers, swarthy pirate boots, silver buckles and silken soles; no-one makes shoes like an elf. This well-known and well-loved tale has been re-heeled and polished by Theatre of Widdershins in their own inimitable style. Beautifully crafted set and puppets, sublime music, a kaleidoscope of miniature shoes and a comic mouse make this show a magical must-see. Suitable for all ages and shoe sizes. 'A triumph of intimacy, imagination and enchantment' (CorrBlimey.com, for Snow White Rose Red Bear Brown 2025).
