Christmas fun at Norwich Puppet Theatre

Cindermouse, Norwich Puppet Theatre’s spectacular Christmas show, opens on Friday 18 December 2009.

Tickets are selling fast with some performances already sold out or with limited availability.

Tickets are still available on 18, 19, 20, 22, 23 and 24 December 2009

“I am delighted that Cindermouse is such a popular production. It is a wonderful contemporary reinterpretation of a classic tale, with beautifully crafted puppets and fantastic showmanship from the puppeteers. The interest in the show reflects the growing support for our work by local people. 2010 is our thirtieth year. We are looking forward to revealing our exciting plans in the new year”
– Ian Woods, General Manager, Norwich Puppet Theatre.

The story takes the audience to the land of the mice where hardworking little Cindermouse finds love in the arms of a prince. Here they will meet a host of colourful glove and rod puppet characters, expertly performed by puppeteers Roger Lade and Andrea Sadler. Amongst the characters are the outrageous sisters, the delicate fairy, acrobats who tumble and dancers who twirl to musical accompaniment.

The opening of the show promises to have the audience shrieking with glee with a boisterous hunt for the ginger cat, whose wanderings pose a mortal threat to the whiskered participants of the story. For the youngsters in the audience more knockabout comedy follows, together with the opportunity to shout out, join in and try tiny footwear for size. There is fun too for the grown-ups, who are likely to be appreciate the sleight-of-hand necessary to allow a legless glove puppet to try on a minuscule magic slipper.
