When Mother Duck’s
eggs start to hatch, one of her ducklings is a little bit different
from the others. He’s larger, clumsier and just, well, not quite
like the rest…
This beautiful new
show from Kneehigh’s Mike Shepherd fuses storytelling, music and
puppets from Lyndie Wright (The Little Angel) to bring the beloved
Hans Christian Andersen tale to life in a sweet, silly and
sometimes sad show for children aged three and
up.
The Ugly Duckling is
45 minutes long
Family
show for age 3+
Mike Shepherd started
Kneehigh in 1980 and remained in ‘the middle of things’ for over 40
years. Mike is an actor, teacher and director who continues to run
the Kneehigh Barns in Cornwall as a home for artists, community and
creativity, aiming to ‘tickle, jolt and edify the numb parts of us
all back into being’. Mike’s recent work includes: Calvino Nights,
a show for everyone; a pop-up version of The Very Old Man with
Enormous Wings; and films Cyrano and Princess and Peppernose with
Joe Wright.
Lyndie Wright is
founder of the legendary Little Angel Theatre in Islington, London.
Her artistic vision has played a pivotal role in shaping the
landscape of British puppetry and made Lyndie a luminary in the
world of puppetry. Designing and making for theatre and film,
Wright’s puppets have performed for companies such as the Royal
Shakespeare Company; Kneehigh; Wise Children; and the National
Theatre. Lyndie is still making full-time and teaching, passing on
her skills to the next generation of artists, and inspiring
audiences young and old with her creations.
