Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Fir Tree
This festive period, How It Ended and artsdepot present an imaginative and brand-new theatrical adaption of Hans Christian Andersen’s moral tale, The Fir Tree.
Fusing movement, live music and song, live foley sound effects and puppetry, this meaningful and playful production is brimming with lessons and adventure for the whole family, to remind us of the enduring power of friendship, the legacy of great stories, and the importance of living in the present moment.
Marking the 180th anniversary of the book’s original publication date, the story centres around a little fir tree who longs for adventure and is desperate to grow up. Never satisfied, the young tree is not content with the sunlight and wind it receives, nor with its forest friends, but rather wishes to be bigger and older. The story's central themes have universal relatability and promote urgent lessons that will speak to audiences of all ages, including the importance of mental health, wellbeing, and environmental responsibility.
The Fir Tree is made with neurodiverse audiences in mind and all performances are Sensory Adapted. This means that the show has been designed for everyone to enjoy, including people with sensory sensitivities, people who are neurodiverse, have epilepsy, or learning disabilities.
