About this Event

Elvis and Nimmiel, two rascally elves, are sent to Leather Street, to help Frank the shoemaker save his struggling shop. Soon business is booming again. But Elvis is fed up with being kind. What chaos can he cobble together to get himself booted out by the humans? And wait, is helping fun after all?

An enchanting adaptation of the Grimm Brothers’ magical tale of kindness.Told by three brilliant actors, packed with puppetry, laughter and original music.
