Announcing co-production with Theatre Royal Plymouth

We are delighted to announce that Stuff & Nonsense’s new show, Pinocchio, will be a co-production with Theatre Royal Plymouth.

Our two organisations have worked together since 2008, reaching over 100,000 audience members through a joint commitment to providing local families and children with an awe-inspiring and memorable theatrical experience over the Christmas period. Our festive season, an annual tradition for families and schools across Plymouth, runs from early December until mid-January, typically reaching over 10,000 audience members across 75 performances.

Over the unique circumstances of the last year both organisations have looked carefully at their activity and priorities and have decided that investing in a closer relationship makes sense to both parties. This will see us work together more frequently, not only on performances but also digital projects, outreach and access work. Together our work will inspire children, fuelling their creativity and learning, and building a future generation of theatre-goers.

Pinocchio is Stuff & Nonsense’s most ambitious show to date. Increasing our cast to three, and introducing an impressive staging, audiences can expect a physically impressive, surprising and memorable experience, with music composed for the show by Dom Coyote (Associate Artist, Kneehigh).

The investment from Theatre Royal Plymouth will ensure the performance has wide appeal and reach. Outreach work in Plymouth will be extended, and the production will be filmed with Audio Description and Captions available digitally.
