The Fir Tree in North Finchley
5.0 (47)
from £12.00 per session
Arts Depot, 5 Nether Street, North Finchley, London, N12 0GA
Deep in the forest, stood a charming little Fir Tree. A Fir Tree who longed for excitement and couldn’t wait to grow up! “Oh, to be BIG like all the other trees!”
But little does the Fir Tree know, a glorious festive adventure awaits, and they’ll learn a lesson beyond their wildest dreams.
From the creators of Wild (Unicorn Theatre) and The Little Gardener (UK Tour), How It Ended present a playfully imaginative re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s festive tale, for all the family.
Presented by artsdepot and How It Ended as part of artsdepot’s 20th anniversary celebrations.
All performances of The Fir Tree are Sensory Adapted. This means that the show has been designed for everyone to enjoy, including people with sensory sensitivities including those who are neurodiverse, have epilepsy, or learning disabilities.
The environment in the auditorium will be the same as for our Relaxed Performances.
These are open to everyone but are particularly suitable for people with sensory, communication or learning disabilities, and anyone who would benefit from a less formal environment.
Audience members should feel comfortable making noise and moving around as and when they need to.
