THE STORYBOOK BALLET

Alongside our full theatrical performances, audiences may also choose to book our separate Storybook Ballet performance.

Designed for younger audiences and those who may benefit from a gentler introduction to theatre, this magical retelling includes live narration, British Sign Language interpretation and a shorter running time whilst still capturing the wonder of Clara’s journey.

Please note: Storybook Ballet tickets are booked separately and is not the full staged production.
