Theatre of Widdershins presents - The Elves & The Shoemaker

Elvis Schumacher, cobbler and craftsman, has worked all his life creating the most beautiful footwear.

But now he’s hit hard times….  Everyone’s buying boring shoes from the evil businessman, Bunyan Sole-less. Time is running out for Elvis. With one piece of leather left and Bunyan’s factory growing, can anyone help him?

Inspired by the exquisite Ladybird Book, which all parents will remember, Theatre of Widdershins brings you another classic fable using magical puppets, intricate design, original music and the simplest of dialogue. 

Past reviews:

"In opposition to the increasingly commercialised nature of children’s entertainment, Theatre of Widdershins offers something unique. The combination of the intricately designed puppets and Lawrence’s storytelling makes this show truly special" - BROADWAY BABY
