The Ugly Duckling is reimagined for festive theatre

By Caroline King - December 9, 2020Posted in : Theatre

This festive season, Manchester’s HOME will be presenting a selection box of theatrical delights to be enjoyed at home or erm… HOME. One of the treats will be the family show Duckie.

Le Gateau Chocolat’s Duckie will be available exclusively online. The on-demand show will allow you to tune in from wherever you are around the world and enjoy the show.

Duckie is an open-hearted take on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale of The Ugly Duckling. Set in an animal circus, Duckie takes the audience on an adventure of self-discovery. It features family-friendly glitz and glamour, in a celebration of difference.

Tickets for this online show will be available on a pay-what-you-decide basis.

When: 16th December 2020 – 3rd January 2021
Where: Online (you’ll receive a viewing link when you book)
£: Pay what you decide
