It gave a warm\, bright light\, like a little candle\, as she held her freezing hand over it. It was really a wonderful light’ \nEmma Rice’s “exquisite” (Daily Telegraph) production comes to Malvern following its critically acclaimed premiere at Shakespeare’s Globe. \nStruggling to keep warm on the freezing winter streets\, our impoverished heroine begins to strike her dwindling stock of matches. Each match she strikes conjures a new story\, and while it burns she escapes into an enchanting world of magic and mystery. Inspired by the beautiful Hans Christian Andersen tales\, we follow her through the spell-binding stories of The Princess and the Pea\, The Emperor’s New Clothes and Thumbelina. \nFor adults and brave children alike this will be a truly remarkable theatre experience\, full of music\, laughter\, puppetry and magic. \n“Theatre to snuggle down into on a frosty night”★★★★ THE GUARDIAN\nAn exquisite spell of a show…irreverent and funny.” ★★★★ THE TELEGRAPH\nA hilarious and heartbreaking collection of fairy tales.” ★★★★ TIME OUT\nRecommended age: 8+ \n  \nRELAXED PERFORMANCE\nThere will be a relaxed performance of The Little Matchgirl                                            \non Friday 23rd March at 1pm.\nRelaxed performances are specifically designed for people who find regular performance settings challenging.
