by Apollo Theatre Company

theatre, children-and-family

Four of Hans Christian Andersen's most well-loved stories are told with magic, mischief and merriment.

about the production

From the pen of one of the greatest children's authors of all time come four of Hans Christian Andersen's most well-loved stories; 'The Ugly Duckling', 'The Princess and the Pea', 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier' and 'The Emperor's New' Clothes'. Told by three actor's, a few puppets and a whole host of inventive props and costumes, this is a production guaranteed to bring out the inner-child in all of us and encourage the sense of play and story-telling for which Hans Christian Andersen was so adept.
