Upfront Gallery Puppet Theatre - Previous Productions

The show was built and rehearsed at Upfront in the Spring and it is a beautiful production.

Life isn’t much fun in the farmyard for the misfit ‘duckling’. Teased and tormented, he dreams of kindlier places beyond the farm gates. But will he survive out there?

Join in the adventures of this famous ‘under-dog’ in Hans Christian Andersen’s much-loved tale of transformation, brought to you in Thingumajig’s house style – beautiful puppet characters, live music, captivating story-telling and a generous sprinkling of theatre magic.
