Touching, funny and utterly original, Freckle Productions’ delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man is back in town!
What starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him, and he even ends up on a fire! How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree?
This award-winning production, from the team behind Zog and Zog and the Flying Doctors, features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

Follow a doomed theatre company as they desperately struggle to keep their show together as everything around them falls apart. The set won’t work, the cast can’t remember their lines, and company rifts are growing. Oh – and sardines… so many sardines.
From a frantic last-minute rehearsal, to a disastrously silent performance, all culminating in a spectacularly calamitous final show, it’s all just going wrong – but the show must go on!
Written by the multi-award-winning British novelist and playwright Michael Frayn, this is a new production of one of the greatest comedies ever written.
