Welcome to Gepetta’s workshop. Under the direction of Laila Noble, set design by Fraser Lappin, lighting design by Katharine Williams, and thanks to the efforts of the fabulous cast and crew, these brilliant characters are bringing Timbernauld to life this festive season!
All Pinocchio has ever wanted is to be a real boy. But hold on…if he wants things, surely that means he has thoughts and feelings. And if he has thoughts and feelings, then doesn’t that mean he has a brain and a heart? And if he has all that, doesn’t that make him a real boy already?
He lives a fun and happy but very protected life with his wild and entertaining granny, Gepetta who wants to keep him safe and sheltered from the outside world.
But he can only stay safe and sheltered for so long. Will he ever make it to the outside world? And if so, what kind of magical adventures will he go on? Well, yes he does and you’ll need to come along to find out.
Take a first look below (Mihaela Bodlovic photography).
