IFI Family Christmas gets off to a howling start with this stunning animated version of Sergei Prokofiev’s classic work. Using puppets, miniature sets, lots of fur and stop-motion animation, the familiar story of young Peter and the wicked wolf is given a new and comic take with the boy and his grumpy Grandfather living in contemporary Russia. With his only friend Duck, he sets off on his search, watched all the while by a heavily made up, very fat and smug cat. The much loved score is performed by the London Philharmonia.
Age recommended: 6+
Tickets: €4.80 per person, €14.40 family ticket (2 adults + 2 children/1 adult + 3 children)
