Stick Man Live on Stage at the Victoria Theatre!

Posted on Updated on

The much loved Christmas themed story by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler comes live on stage at the Victoria Theatre and you still have time to book tickets!

StickMan Live on Stage!

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 ZogTiddler and other Terrific Tales, and Tabby McTat features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky moves.

There are four performances to choose from:

Friday 1.30pm and 4.00pm
Saturday 10.30am and 1.30pm

To book your tickets, visit here: Stick Man at the Victoria Theatre
