About Pinocchio at Bolton Abbey - Bolton Abbey Estate

Carlo Collodis classic is a perennial favourite. It is the third most translated book in the world, having appeared in no fewer than 260 languages since it was published in 1883, and has never been out of print. Childless toymaker Geppetto buys a piece of wood to make a puppet little realising the chaos he is about to unleash. The puppet yearns for adventure and runs away, but instead of excitement only finds glorious attractions containing hidden dangers. He returns home hoping to be showered with sympathy and learns his tribulations are just beginning. Running away hasnt worked; lying wont work; he must become a real boy to achieve the belonging he craves.

Collodi describes the development from puppet to real boy in the same way that useless green timber is matured into useful well-seasoned wood a transformation only achieved through trials of water and fire.

Illyria celebrates this magical coming-of-age tale in a thrilling musical outdoor show.
