It’s tough being a little lady. Winter is coming and Thumbelina’s tulip house is falling to pieces. Her only choice is to embark on a big adventure to find somewhere new to live and hopefully to discover who her real friends are on the way. This production of Thumbelina is no tall story, but rather a celebration of life’s small victories.
The Court is proud to present family-friendly entertainment on the mainstage every school holidays. All kids shows are recommended for children aged 3-7 and all tickets are just $10 for children and adults.
Relaxed performances are special shows for those with sensory needs. Lighting and sound are adjusted, capacity is reduced to allow for freer movement and there is a “chill-out” area in the foyer.
There will be a relaxed performance of Thumbelina on Saturday 26th January. A relaxed performance pack can be downloaded here.

Press Reviews
"Thumbelina is a colourful exploration of becoming oneself, with plenty of strong characters and a well-controlled story line, not too long and not too short, but indeed just right for its intended audience."
