On a Christmas Eve unlike any other, Claire receives a magical gift...
Transported to a fantastical kingdom where toys come to life, nutcrackers can talk and just about anything feels possible, she soon discovers that it’s not just mice lurking beneath the floorboards.
But danger is coming – will Claire and her friends be able to stop the dastardly Mouse King before it’s too late?
And why is she so fixated on her imaginary unicorn?
Pack away all thoughts of ballet shoes and sugar plums – this is Bristol Old Vic’s bold and wildly theatrical re-telling of E. T. A. Hoffmann’s original story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, full of magic, adventure and showstopping music numbers.
