Production details

On a Christmas Eve unlike any other, Clara receives a magical gift that most certainly didn't come from Amazon... Transported to a fantastical kingdom where toy lemurs come to life, nutcrackers can talk and just about anything feels possible, she soon discovers that it's not just mice lurking beneath the floorboards. But danger is coming - will Clara and her friends be able to stop the King of the Rats in his tracks before it's too late? And why is she so fixated on her imaginary unicorn? Bristol Old Vic presents a bold and wild theatrical re-telling of The Nutcracker, full of magic, adventure and show-stopping dance numbers.
