CATCHY songs, stunning scenery and spectacular glow-in-the-dark puppetry is promised at Starbright’s production of Pinocchio, at Clacton’s Princes Theatre.

Long-suffering puppeteer Geppetto longs for a son of his own, and his dreams are realised when a beautiful fairy magically enchants one his wooden creations.

From then on Pinocchio must prove he is kind and brave enough to be a real boy, but faces a myriad of temptations.

Tickets for the show on Tuesday at 7.30pm are £8.50 (£7.50 concessions) and available by calling 01255 686633 or from essexlive.co.uk
