But little does the Fir Tree know, a glorious festive adventure awaits, and they’ll learn a lesson beyond their wildest dreams.

From the creators of Wild  (Unicorn Theatre) and The Little Gardener  (UK Tour), How It Ended present a playfully imaginative re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s festive tale, for all the family. Fusing live music and song, live foley sound effects and puppetry.

The Fir Tree reminds us of the enduring power of friendship, the legacy of great stories, and the importance of living in the present moment.

All performances of The Fir Tree are Sensory Adapted. This means that the show has been designed for everyone to enjoy, including people with sensory sensitivities including those who are neurodiverse, have epilepsy, or learning disabilities.

The environment in the auditorium will be the same as for our Relaxed Performances. These are open to everyone but are particularly suitable for people with sensory, communication or learning disabilities, and anyone who would benefit from a less formal environment. Audience members should feel comfortable making noise and moving around as and when they need to. A Visual Story and a Symbol Story for The Fir Tree are available to download below.

Please be aware that this production contains live music (a maximum of two instruments playing at a time), singing and foley sound effects. The Production Team have taken great care to ensure that any music or sound effects are of an appropriate volume and do not begin suddenly.
