Entry via the main Rotunda entrance from Ward Avenue.

 

Apollo Youth Theatre Presents Pinocchio

Friday 29th November to Sunday 1st December

After a very successful run at Ventnor Fringe, Apollo Youth Theatre presents an exciting adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio. This story tells the real tale of the puppet’s adventures until he finally becomes a real boy.

Written by Karl Whitmore and directed by Mish Whitmore, this dark yet entertaining production takes the audience on Pinocchio’s journey as he encounters many trials and tribulations along the way in his pursuit to become who he really wants to be.

Expertly choreographed by Ann Abe to a captivating soundtrack created by island musicians Annelise Hallam and Harry Spencer (and members of the cast!), the audience learns the challenges of becoming your true self and the complexities of that realistic image being accepted by society. This production is suitable for all ages although it contains some darker themes throughout. Unlike any other adaptation of Pinocchio, it’s not to be missed!
