For almost 200 years, the tales of Hans Christian Andersen have become some of the most-treasured stories we have all grown up with: The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid, The Tinderbox, The Steadfast Tin Soldier... the list is endless, and their delight continues.
This autumn GSC are bringing seven of them to life in a brand-new stage adaptation with original music and lyrics, staged in the Victorian St Nicolas' Church, in central Guildford. The shows runs for 26 performances.
Inspired by the story of The Little Match-Girl and set in the present day, GSC Associate Playwright ANT STONES (Grimms’ Fairy Tales, Alice in Wonderland), weaves together four other favourite tales (The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina) with two rarer stories of The Darning Needle and The Puppet Showman.
