The STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER
Based on the tale by Hans Christian Anderson
Produced by British Youth Music Theatre
Directed by Anthony Underwood
The Steadfast Tin Soldier is one of Hans Christian Anderson's greatest fables. A story about an outcast toy soldier with a missing leg, who falls for the beauty and elegance of a music-box ballerina across the toy room. One day the soldier is tossed out the window by his owner and is forced to make an intrepid journey back to see his beloved Ballerina again.
In this striking, dystopian retelling of the story; we see this story through the eyes of a deaf soldier, living within a crumbling city, who will risk anything to uphold the morals that are important to them; courage, endurance, allegiance, and integrity.
