THE NUTCRACKER AND THE MOUSE KING

Start time: 2pm & 7pm

When Maria receives a mysterious Nutcracker as a gift, she never expects him to come to life - or to find herself caught in a daring battle against the wickedly captivating Mouse King! As she ventures into a world of talking toys, dangerous encounters and surprising friendships, Maria must trust her heart to break an ancient spell and discover that true bravery comes in all shapes and sizes. But Maria also finds herself torn between two very different suitors; the brave, loyal Prince Nathaniel, trapped in the form of the Nutcracker, and the charming, misunderstood Mouse King, who promises her a life of excitement and freedom. With the fate of the enchanted kingdom at stake, will Maria’s heart lead her to the right choice? There’s only one way to find out - don’t miss this unforgettable Christmas adventure! Packed with action, humour, and holiday magic, this dazzling tale, inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic fairy tale is brought to life by Discarded Nut Youth Theatre in a way that will delight, surprise, and enchant audiences aged 6 and up!
