The Elves and the Shoemaker – Festive theatre for all  Friday 12 December, 6pm Tickets £16 Adults / £12 Children & Concessions / Free for under 4s Brixton Windmill Centre, SW2 5DA BOOK VIA www.brixtonwindmill.org BOOK HERE Following recent popular outdoor theatre shows in Windmill Gardens, Dot Collective and Open Bar Theatre combine forces and are back with a festive show inside Brixton Windmill Centre (no need to worry about winter weather!) Written in 1806 by the Brother’s Grimm the tale was originally the first and longest story in a series of three fairy tales entitled The Elves. It follows a failing shoemaker at Christmas time, who one morning awakes to discover a perfect pair of shoes, already made, sitting at his work table. Each morning the same mysterious occurrence takes place, helping him make his fortune. A story of hard work rewarded, the perfect treat for a frosty evening. Come one, come all, adults grab a glass of wine and a mince pie, bring the family and join us to witness the magic of the Elves, sing along and pull a cracker or two – you might even get a festive card or a chance to hold a puppet!…
