About this event
Join the Jolly Postman on a frosty, fairytale adventure in this stage adaptation from Lowry and Royal & Derngate. Based on the award-winning children’s book by much-loved duo Janet and Allan Ahlberg, this family show sees the Jolly Postman cycling through the snow to deliver parcels and letters to familiar friends as they prepare for Christmas celebrations. There are visits to Red Riding Hood, Humpty Dumpty, the Gingerbread Man, and not forgetting the big, bad wolf! As the snow continues to fall, who will help the Jolly Postman get home in time for Christmas? Live music, original songs and a sprinkling of theatre magic bring this favourite festive classic to life for all ages to enjoy. By arrangement with Penguin Books Ltd, a Penguin Random House UK company.
