The Elves & the Shoemaker

The Dot Collective return this December with a new family production, accessible and engaging for all.

Adapted by the company, this production brings the Brothers Grimm story to life through music, puppetry, dance and the most festive of theatre! Bring the whole family along to enjoy across all generations.

Written in 1806 by the Brother’s Grimm the tale was originally the first and longest story in a series of three fairy tales entitled The Elves. It follows a failing shoemaker at Christmas time, who one morning awakes to discover a perfect pair of shoes, already made, sitting at his work table. Each morning the same mysterious occurrence takes place, helping him make his fortune. A story of hard work rewarded, the perfect treat for a frosty afternoon.

Come one, come all and join us to see the magic of the Elves, sing along and pull a cracker or two? You might even get a Christmas card from the cast!
