Growing up isn’t easy, especially when you’re in love with a bear.
This is a story about a girl who dares to follow her longing. The youngest daughter of a king, she feels like a misfit. Then one night a compelling dream leads her deep into the forest, where a chance encounter sets her on a fateful path she could never have anticipated.
Following a critically acclaimed, sell-out success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011, The Wrong Crowd bring you this captivating, dark fairy-tale, which shares its roots with Beauty and the Beast. Stunning puppetry, enchanting music and deft humour combine to dazzling effect in this coming-of-age tale to enthral audiences young and old.
Fall in with The Wrong Crowd for their inventive, playful, unique brand of storytelling theatre.
Suitable for ages 8+.
After Saturday’s performance there will be a chance to meet the company and puppets in the production. This show will be BSL interpreted.

Saw this at the Edinburgh Fringe 2011 - highly recommended.
Four of us came to see The Girl with the Iron Claws this week and we all absolutely loved it! So good and so funny too - a really entertaining evening with a great pre-theatre supper in the bar. Please put me on your mailing list for future Wrong Crowd performances. Well done to all involved.
