The Nutcracker & The Mouse King

nutcracker new image Square lit2.jpg

When the magical inventor Dr Drosselmeyer brings Marie a special Christmas present, a little Nutcracker, she’s captivated by him, and after everyone has gone to bed she creeps downstairs to see him under the Christmas Tree. 

 

But with the chiming of the grandfather clock, strange things begin to happen… the toys start to come to life and mice pour up from beneath the floorboards lead by the terrifying Mouse King.  What is Marie to do? 

 

Suddenly, the little Nutcracker himself springs into life to lead the battle, but can he win through? Will he defeat the Mouse King and return to the Land of Sweets? And how will the evil curse on the Nutcracker be broken?

​

Join Marie and her Nutcracker on their magical adventures in Michael Whitmore's charming new adaptation of the Christmas classic for all the family
