BWW Review: PINOCCHIO, National Theatre
The puppet who wants to be a real boy is all grown up in this new musical version very much the darker side of Disney. Book writer Dennis Kelly went back to the original 19th-century Italian tale, by Collodi, and John Tiffany's production leans more towards that incarnation a Pinocchio recognisably in the tradition of disturbingly grim Grimms' Fairy Tales.
