Hans Christian Andersen
On New Year's Eve a small, poor girl walks in the darkness and snow trying to sell her matches. Hungry and frozen, she curls up in a nook and lights her matches in search of warmth. Looking into the glow, she is transported far, far away from the hunger and the cold.
Hans Christian Andersen's poignant and moving tale, retold by award-winning production company Almost Tangible.
