Elves in Buxton this Christmas

As well as its main-house Christmas show Aladdin, Buxton Opera House will present a new production of The Elves and the Shoemaker at Buxton's Pavilion Arts Centre from December 13–23, following a schools tour in early December.

Niamh Forster, who starred as Libby in last year’s production of Rumpelstiltskin, returns as Elf, and joining the cast for a third year running will be Adam Horvath, playing the storyteller. Jennifer Hague completes the cast in the role of Clara.

The Elves and the Shoemaker has been written by Katherine Candler, with music and musical direction by Rob Green. Allie Spencer directs.

Prior to the Pavilion Arts Centre performances, the show will tour to local primary schools across the High Peak area as part of the BOH Creates programme. The theatre's annual Christmas children’s show schools tour also includes an accompanying resource pack with links to National Curriculum themes and topics.
