Shaun's Big Show

The popular Aardman character comes to the Scottish stage

Shaun is stage-struck and has decided to put on a very special show for all his friends; there’ll be some madcap mayhem ahead as they dance and prance their way through a series of adventures under the nose of the short-sighted Farmer. Read more …

All the favourite characters from the hit series will feature in this wholly live show, including Bitzer, Shirley, Timmy and the rest of the flock in a fully choreographed music and dance extravaganza.

Aardman's television series, ‘Shaun the Sheep’ first appeared on BBC1 and CBBC in March 2007. Inspired by Nick Park's 1995 Academy Award-winning short film, ‘A Close Shave’, the series has been sold worldwide.

This new show will be presented on tour by Calibre Productions, who boast a successful repertoire of acclaimed stage adaptations including ‘Morse’, ‘Porridge’, ‘Dad’s Army’ and ‘‘Allo ‘Allo’.

Producer Ed O’Driscoll comments: “Adapting a televised series for stage is a complex task and none perhaps more so than with ‘Shaun the Sheep’, where we are not merely adapting a sitcom but a silent animation.  We have brought on-board a great team of talented individuals; dramatist David Wood, designer Susie Caulcutt and choreographer Bill Deamer, to bring the animation to life with a wonderful show which we hope will be enjoyed by all”.
