The story is brought to life by two 12-foot puppets, who interact with audiences as they make their way towards a climactic confrontation.

Another highlight of the City Centre Day looks set to be the Laura Mathews Flying Puppets Exhibition inside Nottingham Central Library until 6pm.

First launched in 2018, the festival aims to tell stories through puppets “in a way that reality can’t”. 

Other events taking place between April 9 and April 21 include puppet workshops at the Royal Concert Hall and a screening of The Muppet Movie at Broadway Cinema.
