Orange Tree Theatre announces cast for PINOCCHIO this Christmas

The Orange Tree Theatre have announced full casting for brand new play Pinocchio, created and directed by OT Community Director Liam Shea for the festive season, running from 14-31 December. 

Fiona Drummond (Mum/The Blue Fairy/Other beasts) joins Nathan Queeley-Dennis (Hugo/Pinocchio/Other beasts) in a fun, interactive adventure, for anyone aged 3 to 103, which awakens the imagination about the adventures we can have when we pretend. 

Completing the creative team are James Cleeve (Composer/Musical Director), Lori Hopkins (Puppetry Director) and Chris McDonnell (Lighting Designer).

OT Artistic Director Paul Miller said: “As we continue our Recovery Season, nothing seems more important than reconnecting with the very young – and helping them to reconnect with the world. So, I am delighted that new OT Community Director Liam Shea has conceived this brilliant and accessible version of Pinocchio which will enchant a whole new generation with this classic tale this Christmas. I can’t wait!”

Hugo is bored, lonely and needs a friend, so his mum makes him his very own Pinocchio, setting them both on an adventure to the top of a snowy mountain, out to pleasure island and into the belly of a wiggly whale!

With puppetry and original music, use your imagination to help Hugo on his magical journey with friends new and old this winter.
