What is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button about

Under the light of a full moon, something most curious occurs… Benjamin Button is born old. Bound to the fate of growing younger each day, Benjamin wants nothing more than to live a little life. But will he ever find a place to belong? Only time and tide will tell…

An electrifying journey through the timeless tale of a love that defies all odds, Jethro Compton’s production relocates the American classic to a tight-knit Cornish fishing village. Packed with puppets, and live music, this magical musical will transport you to a fantastical new world.
