- **Event Description**: Hans Christian Andersen’s THE UGLY DUCKLING

Directed by Mike Shepherd
Puppets by Lyndie Wright
Performed by Mike Shepherd and Rachel Leonard

When Mother Duck’s eggs start to hatch, one of her ducklings is a little bit different from the others. He’s larger, clumsier and just, well, not quite like the rest…

This beautiful new show from Kneehigh’s Mike Shepherd fuses storytelling, music and puppets from Lyndie Wright (The Little Angel) to bring the beloved Hans Christian Andersen tale to life in a sweet, silly and sometimes sad show for children aged three and up.

Mike Shepherd started Kneehigh in 1980 and remained in ‘the middle of things’ for over 40 years. Mike is an actor, teacher and director who continues to run the Kneehigh Barns in Cornwall as a home for artists, community and creativity, aiming to ‘tickle, jolt and edify the numb parts of us all back into being’. Mike’s recent work includes: Calvino Nights, a show for everyone; a pop-up version of The Very Old Man with Enormous Wings; and films Cyrano and Princess and Peppernose with Joe Wright.

Lyndie Wright is founder of the legendary Little Angel Theatre in Islington, London. Her artistic vision has played a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of British puppetry and made Lyndie a luminary in the world of puppetry. Designing and making for theatre and film, Wright’s puppets have performed for companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company; Kneehigh; Wise Children; and the National Theatre. Lyndie is still making full-time and teaching, passing on her skills to the next generation of artists, and inspiring audiences young and old with her creations.

For children 3-10 and their grown ups.
