A selfish King replaces his melodic songbird with an all mod-cons mechanical gizmo – then wonders if something is missing from his life. With vivid performance, puppetry and animation, Hans Christian Andersen’s story is brimming with amazing characters and great storytelling.

Following the sell-out successes of A STRANGE AND UNEXPECTED EVENT, IN THE SHADOW OF TREES, LITTLE LEAP FORWARD and A STORM IN A TEACUP, HORSE + BAMBOO return to The Studio to once again delight children with their trademark puppetry, masks and animation.
