the Story

It’s the classic tale that changed the face of film for ever, now see the world’s favourite puppet come alive on stage in true Pavilion Panto style.

Pinocchio

Pinocchio tells the tale of a poor carpenter, Geppetto, who has no wife and no child. He carves himself a puppet boy out of wood and calls him Pinocchio. Pinocchio, like other children, has a lot of lessons to learn in life. When he disobeys his father and runs away, he has a series of adventures which teach him these lessons, the most famous being that he shouldn’t tell lies. When Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer. Eventually, Pinocchio and Geppetto are reunited inside a big fish that has swallowed them both up. Once home, Pinocchio promises to be good and he becomes a real boy and a real son.

Pinocchio is a fictional character that first appeared in 1883, in The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, and has since appeared in many adaptations of that story and others.
