Details

On the outskirts of a country a war rages on and on, while at its centre a proud King rules the capital with an iron fist. Once upon a time it was foretold that his daughter would marry a common soldier, so the King has locked her in an impenetrable tower. Nobody has ever seen her in the flesh. When a disillusioned soldier returns from the war and comes into possession of a magical tinderbox that can grant him anything he wants, the storm clouds begin to gather. A story of blood, magic, love and violence. The award-winning Bristol Old Vic Young Company create a new devised piece based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Tinderbox. Ages: 12+
