Watch the soldier’s remarkable roller coaster adventure from rags to riches and back again! Will he survive and win the love of the beautiful princess?

Norwich Puppet Theatre breathes new life into Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale The Tinderbox. A story of magic, bravery and love told with puppetry, animation, and music.
