Stick Man // 18 Apr

The Full Monty
// 20-25 Apr

From the book by Julia Donaldson
and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, this
family friendly show is devised from
the creators of The Gruffalo.

In 1997, a British film
about six out-of-work
Sheffield steelworkers
with nothing to lose
took the world by
storm. Now, they’re
back, and this time they
really have to go The Full Monty…live on stage! Simon Beaufoy, the Oscarwinning writer of the film, has gone all the way with this hilarious and heartfelt
adaptation that’s getting standing ovations every night. With songs from
the film by Donna Summer, Hot Chocolate and Tom Jones, this awardwinning production is one huge package of laughs and emotion coming to
The Orchard Theatre direct from London’s West End.
7.30pm (Wed & Sat matinee, 2.30pm). Price: £11-£30.
Orchard Theatre, Home Gardens, Dartford DA1 1ED

‘Stick Man lives in the family tree
With his Stick Lady Love
and their stick children three…’
But the world is a dangerous place
for Stick Man; a dog wants to play
with him, a swan builds a nest with
him – he even ends up on a fire! Will
he ever get back to the family tree?
Most suitable for children aged 3+.
2pm. Price: £10 (family ticket
£30).
