Description

THE MAGIC FISHBONE

6th-31st December 2019 at The Avenue Theatre, IP2 9AF
Our Christmas Show!
Adapted by Joanna Carrick

It will bring you whatever you wish for…
The beautiful princess Alicia is poor and her clothes are threadbare.
She works all day long looking after her little brothers and sisters and has no friends, except for a ragdoll duchess and Percy Pickles, the fishmonger’s son. But one day, Alicia is given a magic present; a fishbone which will give her anything she wishes for, as long as she wishes for it at the right moment…

This December, Joanna Carrick’s acclaimed adaptation finally comes home to The Avenue! Charles Dickens at Christmas is a magical, unmissable treat for all the family and the perfect alternative to the traditional panto. 

The Magic Fishbone 2020

A special one-off event for The Magic Fishbone at The Anchor, Walberswick on Thursday 2nd January 2020 at 5pm.

This is a fundraising event in aid of Red Rose Chain’s dedicated community work. And although we’ll be in the midst of cold January, fear not this event is hosted in a heated marquee!

So why not celebrate the new year with us, by supporting our reprised show of The Magic Fishbone.
