Lovingly carved in Geppetto’s workshop, Pinocchio’s parents dream of a bright future for their wooden son.  Pinocchio, however, dreams of adventure and sets off on a path of fun and freedom ready to discover the world.  Along the way, Pinocchio is confronted with big decisions and a menagerie of colourful characters, leading to calamitous consequences as he starts a fire, turns into a donkey, and even ends up inside a whale! 

Michael Morpurgo said, “At last, Pinocchio speaks for himself! About time too. And I’m so thrilled he’s doing it at the Watermill. Come see Pinocchio as he’d like to be s seen. Simon Reade and I are rare amongst writers. Others have read Pinocchio, the Collodi version of his life, or seen the movie. We’ve met him! Come see the show and you can meet him too!”
