The performance will also feature local children enjoying the opportunity to take part in professional theatre.
Tickets are priced at £10 for standard entry, concessions £6.50 and families £30 via the box office on 01278 784464.
AsOne Theatre Company’s Artistic Director Jane McKell said: “We wanted to bring a contemporary, magical piece of theatre to the stage that unites the extended family, and has them leaving the theatre talking about what has just engaged and excited them.”
“Tinderbox is a thrilling story with strong, colourful yet vulnerable characters, and themes of adventure, love, loss, and lessons learned. The multi-media way we tell it; the combination of puppets, life music, animated image and talented physical performance adds up to magic for all the family.”
