Based on the book by Julia Donaldson with illustrations by Axel Scheffler, this Christmas Stick Man
will play at its new London home, the Bloomsbury 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 in time for Christmas?

This much-loved adaptation from Freckle Productions, the team behind Zog and Zog and the Flying
Doctors, features a trio of top actors and is packed full of puppetry, songs, live music and funky
moves. 

Stick Man is a perennial bestseller and has been translated into 23 languages. In 2015, Magic Light Pictures premiered the animated film of Stick Man with an all-star cast including Martin Freeman, Jennifer Saunders and Hugh Bonneville.
