How It Ended and artsdepot present
The Fir Tree
12- 31 December 2024
Deep in the forest, stood a charming little Fir Tree. A Fir Tree who longed for excitement and couldn’t wait to grow up!
“Oh, to be BIG like all the other trees!”
But little does the Fir Tree know, a glorious festive adventure awaits, and they’ll learn a lesson beyond their wildest dreams.
From the creators of Wild (Unicorn Theatre) and The Little Gardener (UK Tour), How It Ended present a playfully imaginative re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s festive tale, for all the family. Fusing live music, live foley sound effects and puppetry.
The Fir Tree reminds us of the enduring power of friendship, the legacy of great stories, and the importance of living in the present moment.
