IF you’re a giant, and very selfish you might have a big problem, and this is the theme of a family-friendly show coming to the Henry Sandon Hall in Worcester.

Based on the story by Oscar Wilde, adapted by Rob Ashman and Matt Hart, The Selfish Giant is a classic tale best told in the winter.

A spokesman said: “Since building a wall to keep the children out of his garden, the only visitors the Selfish Giant gets are Lady Snow and her friends.

“But one morning he hears the most beautiful music coming from his bedroom window and is delighted with the sight that greets him...”

The spokesman added: “Set in a magnificent steel sculpted garden, the story of The Selfish Giant is told using Sea Legs’ beautifully crafted puppets, a brilliant musical soundtrack, including genres ranging from jazz (Lord Hail) and baroque (Mr Frost) to rock and pop (The North Wind/Children’s Song), and superb storytelling.

“Founded in 2001 by Artistic Director Rob Ashman, Sea Legs Puppet Theatre’s aim is to provide high quality, entertaining children’s puppetry performances.”

Mr Ashman said: “To me, puppetry and performance is a vocation and over the years it has become a labour of love. I pride myself on the fact that every performance is given the correct energy and focus to make it a truly magical experience.”

The date for the diary is Saturday, December 8.
