The Ugly Duckling (2007, 2008, 2017)
About the show
Our 30th original show was our first co-production with the Tobacco Factory Theatres. We then took it on a national tour which played to 27,000 people. The show came back to nest at Tobacco Factory Theatres in 2017, delighting audiences of 2+ years and their families.
Frost. Ice. Quiet. The farm is sleeping, snuggled up for warmth. Suddenly the peace is shattered by the arrival of… a duckling. Scruffy, clumsy and NOTHING like his fluffy yellow siblings, our unlikely, gangly and slightly wobbly hero sets off on an epic adventure to find the place where he truly belongs.
A triumph: a must-see Christmastreat British Theatre Guide

A truly exceptional piece of work - nothing short of perfection. *****Whatsonstage.com
