Another Winter's Tale play

Taking place on Thursday the 17th of November 2022, Dogwood Productions are hosting Another Winter's Tale at Whissendine Village Hall. 

Two travelling entertainers, trapped after their latest show by a snow storm, pass the time waiting to leave by telling wintry stories accompanied by beautiful music, songs and puppetry. What could possibly be wrong? But why are they so keen to move on? who or what is following behind them?

The play begins at 7:30pm and is suitable for all ages 8+

Book here.
