A FRESH, poignant twist to a much loved fairly tale by the Brothers Grimm comes to Portland, Portesham and Cerne Abbas this weekend.

The Frog & The Princess by Norwich Puppet Theatre goes on tour courtesy of Artsreach.

This exquisitely manipulated and humorous performance explores the meeting of cultures and what happens when a Princess deems a Frog unworthy of being her friend, just because of what he is.

As the Frog and the Princess undergo an emotional journey from rejection to friendship they discover that deep down, they are not so very different after all. Using traditional and contemporary puppet craft, Norwich Puppet present a delightful show for all the family this winter.

The play is suitable for those aged four and above.
