Nottingham Playhouse Theatre Company will also present Pinocchio for younger audiences from 7-31 December. 

Executive Director Steve Mannix said: “We are going from strength to strength as we continue to harness the potential of our eco-friendly building having completed our £11.8m refurbishment last year. Against all the odds and the challenges of the last two years for us all, our work has continued to expand. We are now able to programme exciting new work in our Studio year-round and grow our education and participatory programme in new dedicated spaces. We are thrilled to be able to co-produce with new partners like Mischief for the world premiere of Good Luck, Studio while also supporting new emerging artists and locally based creatives in the East. It’s an exciting time to welcome you to Mercury – they say, ‘build it and they will come’ and you have – look forward to seeing you soon!”
