Pippi Longstocking
A Swashbuckling Musical Adventure!
A co-production with Royal & Derngate Northampton and ABA International Touring (UK)
by Astrid Lindgren
Opened at Royal & Derngate Northampton on Friday 13th December 2019
Nine-year-old Pippi is strong, brave and fearless. When she comes to live in her new home with her monkey and horse but with no parents and no rules, she brings mischief, chaos and confusion to the folk of this ordinary and traditional town. Pippi takes charge of her own crazy adventures, with her two new friends, Tommy and Annika. What else would you expect from the daughter of a swashbuckling pirate captain?
