Toys will be directed by Chris Wheeler and choreographed by Julia Ruiz Fernández.
On one magical Christmas Eve, Victoria, a lonely young girl, discovers Ludus: a world beyond her wildest dreams – a world inhabited by living toys.
As she journeys through Ludus, she finds herself embarking on a magical adventure with the toys she once had as a child. But she soon learns that not all of her old friends are pleased to see her.
After all, isn't she the one that abandoned them?
Can Victoria help rebuild a crumbling Ludus and ultimately, find comfort and strength amidst the enchanting chaos?
Toys will run at The Pump House Theatre for a limited five-week season from Wednesday 4th December until Tuesday 31st December 2024.
