Stick Man leaps from the pages of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s best-selling book onto the London stage as a vibrant, family-friendly play. This inventive adaptation by Freckle Productions is packed with puppetry, live music, and plenty of humor, making it a hit for both kids and adults.

Whether you’re a fan of the book or new to the story, this limited-run production at Bloomsbury Theatre is a festive treat.
Stick Man’s morning jog quickly turns into a wild adventure as he’s mistaken for everything from a dog’s toy to a swan’s nest. Along the way, he faces a series of unexpected mishaps, all while trying to get back to his family tree in time for Christmas. Will Stick Man find his way home, or will he become lost forever? The answer awaits on stage.
