Woodland trees transform from dark weathered branches, to silver sticks of frost, while hidden in brushwood, beside an ice-covered lake, a lost rejected duckling stares skyward at the migrating swans, yearning to belong and marvelling at their beauty….
Moving through all four seasons, tutti frutti and York Theatre Royal bring to life Hans Christian Andersen’s well known tale.
With a menagerie of farmyard animals, depicted through inventive physicality, and with live music that quacks and trills, this charming production plays with ideas of identity, a sense of belonging and the journey to discover inner beauty.
tutti frutti is a national touring theatre company creating high quality work for children and their families to enjoy. Based in Leeds, tutti frutti has been delighting children aged three and over for more than 25 years and tours nationally and internationally to schools, venues, arts centres and village halls. For over 10 years tutti frutti and York Theatre Royal have enjoyed a creative and fruitful partnership co-producing many shows together. York Theatre Royal is committed to supporting and presenting work for children and family audiences and recent co-productions with tutti frutti include The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Princess and the Pea, Snow Child and Underneath a Magical Moon.
