20 November 2009 - 9 January, 2010

An original story by Susan Mulholland
A Northern Stage production

For children aged 6 and under.

Once upon a time there was a young prince and he was very spoilt and very bored. Even the best storybooks bored him because he wanted a story with a penguin, a polar bear and some pirates in it but there's no such story... or is there?  As the prince fell asleep that night, he began to realise that making up stories is a very powerful thing...

From the creators of Thumbelina, Tattercoats and last year's sell out The Goblin Who Saved Christmas, comes an adventure of imagination, filled with lovable characters, faraway lands and plenty of audience participation.

"bursting with theatrical invention" The Stage

"a sweet and funny little tale that keeps the attention of both tots and their parents" The Stage

"any two-year-old would be pushed to ask for anything more" The Journal
