Rosie's Magic Horse
Synopsis:
A brand new production based on the book written by Russell Hoban and illustrated by Quentin Blake. Little Rosie collects ice-lolly sticks and puts them in an old box. As Rosie dreams of helping her parents pay off the bills her stick collection dreams of becoming something greater. At the stroke of midnight magic and dreams collide and a horse gallops out of the box! His name is Stickerino. "Where to?" he asks. "Anywhere with treasure!" she answers. There begins an adventure like none other: ice-lolly mountains by the sea, caskets of gold and scurvy pirates. A heart-warming tale of aspiration, friendship, adventure and a little bit of mischief. This is the perfect treat for everyone aged 3 and up.
