FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

Honk

By George Stiles and Anthony Drew
Directed by Keith Thompson
Musical Director Malcolm Dorling
30th December – 10th January 2003

The award-winning musical of the ugly duckling story

Thanks to The Mitre Players, Caterham

Honk! is the story of the ugly duckling, the characters being ducks, geese, swans, frogs and a cat — the villain, of course. This version was written in 1997 and perfomed at the National Theatre, winning an Olivier Award for Best Musical 2000.

Witty and charming, and including twelve delightful songs, it is ideal family fare at Christmas.
