Review: The Making of Pinocchio, Battersea Arts Centre
“Now produced by Artsadmin, The Making of Pinocchio is a wonderfully playful, complex, bold, brave and very moving story describing transformation and potential.”
“This autobiographical journey is framed within a fabulously theatrical and comic version of the Pinocchio story. Cade and MacAskill examine questions arising as they explore a space of multiple possibilities.”
“The couple are both immensely likeable and incredibly funny as through their art they create a fascinating interpretation of their lived experience.”
