The Gingerbread Man
6 -9 November 2025
at the Carriageworks Theatre, Leeds

a musical play by David Wood, directed by D Dainter

Picture
While the ‘Big Ones’ are asleep, plenty of excitement takes place on the kitchen dresser.  The cuckoo in the clock has lost his voice and risks being thrown away.  Salt, Pepper and The Gingerbread Man try to help him, despite the efforts of the Old Tea Bag on the top shelf.  She isn’t the only one to worry about as danger also comes from a gangster mouse with a hankering for sweet things. They really do need your help!

"The aim of Leeds Children's Theatre is to produce plays suitable for children,
​the players to be either children or adults or both, as is necessary for the production"
. 
This was drawn into the constitution in April 1937
​and it remains the aim of Leeds Children's Theatre today
