AN ENCHANTING show about friendship and finding your way between two worlds will be touring rural Dorset during the February half-term.

Malina's Dream returns to Dorset for the half term holiday thanks to Artsreach, the county's arts charity.

Malina is an excitable young girl who lives with grandpa in the land of the midnight sun.Into her frozen world comes a stranger, whose ship is crushed in the ice. When Malina discovers her dream has become real she knows only she can save the stranger's life...with just a little help from Grandpa and his magic drum!

This warm-hearted tale, created by Angel Heart Theatre, is inspired by true-life encounters between 19th century Scottish sailors and the Inuit communities of the Arctic.

Breath-taking puppets, live music and a specially commissioned soundtrack create an unforgettable experience of magical theatre.
