Two are standing; one in Shakespearean dress holding a paper skull, another in a purple fairy costume holding a paper mast. The other two are crouched, with one wearing a paper hat, pointing out to sea, and another looking through a paper telescope, scratching their chin.

BOOK NOW FOR NEXT WINTER

A theatre made out of cut out colourful paper. In between red pillars and under a roof that reads 'The Globe Theatre' with a crescent moon, the letters for 'Pinocchio' hang down on golden strings, in front of a twinkling night sky.
