We are delighted to report that this brilliantly festive, family friendly treat is returning to London stages in a socially distanced way for Christmas 2020. This laugh out loud child friendly show is perfect for the whole family. Read all about The Young Londoner’s experience of Stick Man in Leicester Square last year.
Stick man live in the family tree with his Stick Lady love and their stick children, three. The misadventures of Stick Man begin when he goes on a morning jog only to encounter a dog that wants to play fetch with him, a swan that builds a nest with him, and he even ends up on a fire!
How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree in time for Christmas? This delightful adaptation from Freckle Productions, the team behind Zog, Tiddler 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.
The Stick Family are so happy to be back on stage and back in the family tree. Audiences will be socially distanced, and all the latest government advice will be followed to make Stick Man as safe as possible and as enjoyable as ever. For more information click here.
