What is the story about?

the Family Tree and he encounters people and animals that mistreat him, not understanding that he isn’t just a stick.
He’s a Stick Man!
Freckle Productions is adept at adapting Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s classics, including Zog, Tiddler and Tabby McTat.
Stick Man live at Rose Theatre in London review
Anyone with small children will be familiar with the brilliant characters sketched out from the popular duo.
The show is fun, it’s musical, it’s silly and it’s interactive. It’s just perfect for kids, also of young age.
We loved the original songs with catchy lyrics engaging from start to finish
Also, at under an hour, it’s the perfect length for capturing and holding the little ones’ attention and works for four-year-olds or six-year-olds (the latter will get very involved!).
There’s plenty of audience participation for little ones and some puppetry, too – including, of course, the Stick Family in their sycamore tree, in this Freckle Productions’ show.
Stick Man is directed by Sally Cookson (A Monster Calls, Old Vic Theatre) with Associate Director Mark Kane, design by Katie Sykes (Jane Eyre, National Theatre), lighting by Elanor Higgins (Private Peaceful, UK Tours) and music by Benji Bower (A Monster Calls, Old Vic Theatre).
