Northampton High School’s live theatre presents “Pinocchio, the story of a
puppet”. This classic Italian fable that has been adapted into various
forms of books, movies, musicals and plays. Written in the 1800′s by Carlo
Collodi, the story is a significant part of traditional Italian culture and
continues to be treasured by young audiences around the world. Now,
Northampton High School has decided to take on the exciting opportunity to
portray this wonderful story in yet another unquie version. Adapted by NHS
senior, Isabella Marie Egizi, the new play stays true to Collodi’s original
material while commenting on common modern times of childhood, innocence,
adolescence, and independence. This “Pinocchio” pays a tribute to all the
history incorporated in its development through many years, and it also
expresses an intense focus on what it means to grow up in today’s chaotic
world.
