Malvern Festival Theatre
(Scamp Theatre & Watford Palace Theatre Productions)
Scamp Theatre bound onto the Festival Theatre stage at
Malvern with their enchanting adaptation of the children’s classic, Stick Man,
with a wonderfully vibrant mix of quirky storytelling, puppets, music, song and
dance.
Sally Cookson, directs an imaginative and lively
presentation of Julia Donaldson’s hugely popular and heart breaking tale of
Stick Man, who gets separated from his Stick Lady Love and their Children 3 one
day, while out for a jog. Oliver Grant, Rachel Winters and Alex Tosh are superb
as they take the audience on a journey over land and sea, through the seasons
to its satisfying finale.
This production excites the senses and is totally engaging
for all ages. Every aspect was delightful, in particular, Elanor Higgins’
magical lighting design. Stick Man continues on tour until 2nd August
and details can be found at www.scamptheatre.com.
