A playful and witty festive show for Elves of all ages celebrating community and sharing festive joy

The Storyteller was once the host of a dazzling show, with acts full of laughter and song which enchanted audiences far and wide. Nowadays, The Storyteller spends much of their time alone; the acts have long since left, dust and quiet has settled on the well-trodden stage and their love of stories has faded away. 

But Pip, and their excitable apprentice Dorrit, are Elves on a mission! A mission from Father Christmas himself. A mission to spread joy. Pip has never failed a mission, but this one is proving very tricky; The Storyteller seems to have lost all their magic and sparkle.

Can Pip, Dorrit and their expert Elf team re-ignite The Storyteller’s love for stories, songs, and laughter and spread joy in time for Christmas?
