Pinocchio - No Strings Attached @ Above The Stag

The story of a lonely woodcutter who lovingly carves a boy out of wood is gobsmackingly reimagined as a dazzling adult pantomime. A spell transforms Pinocchio into a real boy, and sends him on a great adventure. But soon he discovers he has a very peculiar affliction: whenever he tells a lie, Pinocchio starts to grow in a very embarrassing place. A glorious concoction of comedy, songs, slapstick and sweet-throwing, and a tale that reminds you: if you cant get love, you can at least get wood. Press & Reviews Loved this very adult, very funny panto. Congrats to all involved. Graham Norton The return of the smartest and slickest adult pantomime in town The Stage you cant help but leave the theatre beaming. The perfect evening to kick-start your Christmas queer cheer into drivea joyous evening of frenzied fun QX a deliciously crude panto that sticks to the winning formula and doesnt pretend to be anything different Spy in the Stalls the perfect panto for not-so-grownups to let loose and enjoy some filthy festive fun just brilliant. Fairypowered If you can only do one panto this Xmas season, this should be the one London Living Large The script is sharp and rude without ever being crude and the whole cast impressiveExcellent fun all round.
