In 2006 The Sultan’s Elephant stopped in its tracks and thousands of onlookers marvelled at the sight of a gigantic wooden elephant, and a little—girl giant in a green dress.

The precise details are a closely—guarded secret, but what’s certain is that it will be huge in scale and utterly unlike anything seen in Liverpool before: an unforgettable piece of live theatre, played out against the landmarks of a great city.
