Lila’s journey to become a Master Firework-Maker turns into a high-stakes quest to save her father.

Based on Philip Pullman’s award-winning book, The Firework-Maker’s Daughter follows Lila, a determined young girl who dreams of becoming a Master Firework-Maker like her father. But to achieve her goal, she must embark on a daring adventure, facing challenges that test her courage and skill. When her father’s life depends on her winning the ultimate firework competition, Lila must create the most dazzling display the world has ever seen. Presented by Polka Theatre and directed by Lee Lyford, this magical new production is a thrilling tale of bravery, friendship, and self-discovery.
