The Tinder Box Poster
Adaption of a Hans Christian-Andersen story.
I remember going as a kid to the Christmas show. It was to do with witches or something like that. You could get in for free if you brought something for the witches’ cauldron and so loads of kids were coming with matchboxes and sticks and bits of old stone, but we kept locusts! So we put those in a matchbox and took them in.
I remember going to the box office and opening the matchbox, and the scream from the woman who was selling tickets! She was just like, ‘Just go in, go in!’. So that was quite amusing!
Have you got a memory you’d like to share? Or perhaps you have a programme or poster from one of our shows that we're currently missing? Then we want to hear from you! The website is a living archive and we will continue to add information as it comes to light.
