Preview: Stick Man Live at Newcastle Tyne Theatre

Scamp Theatre presents:
Stick Man Live

Newcastle Tyne Theatre & Opera House

Thursday 11^th – Saturday 13^th October 2018

Touching, funny and utterly original, Scamp Theatre’s delightful adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s Stick Man is coming back to Tyne Theatre & Opera House this October, after a hugely successful run of shows in October 2017.

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 The Scarecrows’ Wedding, features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

Tyne Theatre & Opera House Director Joanne Johnson says: “I’m so thrilled to welcome back Stick Man Live to the Tyne Theatre stage! When Scamp Theatre brought the show to the theatre in October 2017 it was absolutely delightful, and I hope this gives people who missed it the first time another chance to catch it.”.
