Stick Man branches out to The Lowry in Salford this Christmas (December 10-January 5). Based on the book by Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler, the stage adaptation is from Freckle Productions, the team behind Zog, and Zog and the Flying Doctors. Casting has still to be announced.
Stick Man lives in the family tree, with his Stick Lady-love and their three stick children. On this particular day, what starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch, a swan builds a nest with him and he even ends up on a fire! How will Stick Man get back to the family tree in time for Christmas?
Stick Man is a perennial bestseller and has been translated into 23 languages. In 2015 the animated film was the fourth most-viewed 2015 Christmas Day TV programme in the UK and the book went to number one in the children’s chart.
Executive producer Jennifer Sutherland said, “We're working with a brilliant team to add even more sparkle and beauty to the show; we're eager to share it with North West audiences.”
