It’s hatching time, and there’s one last egg. One huge egg. One last, huge egg that just… won’t… CRACK! And then out flops one crazy looking dude. Big feet, long neck… This is one ugly looking duck. Read more …
Will he find love? Will he find happiness? Will anyone love that duck? And, most importantly, will he find the nearest disco?
Come along and enjoy this brand new adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen‘s classic tale. Written by Andy Manley, creator of last year’s favourite Rudolf and the multi-award winning White, and co-produced by Catherine Wheels, this is a disco-fuelled, glitter-filled tale for anyone who’s ever felt they’re a little bit different. Perfect for getting kids, young and old, into the festive party mood!
This Ugly Duckling quickly takes flight.
Eggcellent.
This show for younger audiences could perhaps push the ugly duckling's sense of helpless despair even further (touching though the scene of wintry isolation is), but offers instead a charming metaphor about sexual liberation.
It’s witty, inventive and charming to boot.
The Arches, Glasgow from Friday November 30, 2012, until Sunday December 30, 2012. More info: www.thearches.co.uk
