A mountain of discarded wrapping. A lonely child with an active imagination.

Barrowland Ballet return to The Studio with their award-winning show, back by popular demand!

It’s often the cardboard boxes, not the gifts inside that are the most fun.

Is the true gift the joy that can come from the imagination?

This is a story reversing the idea that it is the wrapping paper, the cardboard boxes and ribbons that should be discarded, and reveals that playfulness, creativity and imagination are the true gifts. This beautiful production celebrates the art of play, taking ordinary objects making them extraordinary and magical.

“I didn’t realise it didn’t include batteries…!” The disappointment of a toy that doesn’t work – every parent’s nightmare! But not to worry, this will become the best day ever with the arrival of an imagined friend and together they transform the world around them.

This festive show will ignite a playfulness, inspiring children and their families to find new games together when it’s their turn to open gifts!
