The Tin Soldier lifts Andersen’s complex and moving story off the page and into an unforgettable theatrical experience like no other.
The Tin Soldier, a creative co–production between the Gate Theatre and Theatre Lovett, recasts Hans Christian Andersen’s quintessential tale as a mirror, to illuminate and reveal its author as a warrior for the imagination, a revolutionary outsider.
Inimitably narrated by Louis Lovett, and with original
music by Conor Linehan, the production delicately moves
between beauty and horror, comedy and despair, and features
French dancer Kévin Coquelard and Ukrainian singer Olesya
Zdorovetska.
