The King's Theatre in Edinburgh has reopened after its restoration, and the pantomime is back where it belongs. This year it is The Adventures of Pinocchio, as the wooden puppet dreams of becoming a real boy, with comedy, magic and songs for all ages. Allan Stewart plays May Geppetto and Grant Stott is the villainous Stromboli, with Jordan Young as Pinocchio. It runs from Saturday 28 November to Sunday 17 January. There are BSL, audio-described and relaxed performances through the run, children get £3 off, and anyone aged 25 or under can buy £10 tickets on the day.
