Hull Truck Theatre
Exploring themes of adventure, friendship and the joy of love and togetherness, this version of The Borrowers is set against a backdrop of Christmas in East Yorkshire during the 1940s Blitz.
Audiences are invited to discover a magical hidden world under the floorboards as Arrietty Clock, a spritely “Borrower”, secretly living in a country house in rural East Yorkshire with her family, becomes curious when an evacuee human boy from neighbouring Hull arrives.
