Directed by Eva Sampson, the story of Rudolf the reindeer, famous for his shiny red nose, is expected to ignite the imaginations of younger children and show the true meaning of Christmas.

Rudolf flies in to West Yorkshire Playhouse until Saturday December 31. The theatre describes it as “the perfect end-of-term Christmas treat or enchanting first adventure into theatre for children aged 2+”.
