STICK Man is leaving his family tree and heading to Yeovil this weekend.

Based on the book by Julia Donaldson with illustrations by Axel Scheffler, the production is back on tour to celebrate its 10th Anniversary, playing four performances only at the Octagon Theatre.

What starts off as a morning jog becomes quite the misadventure for Stick Man: a dog wants to play fetch with him, a swan builds a nest with him, and he even ends up on a fire.

How will Stick Man ever get back to the family tree? Packed full of puppetry, live music and funky moves, Stick Man is a touching, funny and utterly original adaptation that will delight all ages.

Stick Man is adapted from the book by Julia Donaldson, the multi award-winning author of some of the world’s best loved children’s books, most notably the modern classic The Gruffalo which has sold over 13 million copies worldwide.

Julia is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which have sold millions of copies and have been translated into over 40 languages.

Stick Man will be at The Octagon Theatre in Yeovil this weekend, on Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15. Tickets cost £14.
