Little Angel Theatre announce THE SMARTEST GIANT IN TOWN

It has been announced that Little Angel Theatre will reopen to the public from 28 May, with a brand new production of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s The Smartest Giant in Town.

Co-produced with Fierylight, the heartwarming-tale features as part of the venue’s 60th anniversary season, running until 8 August at Little Angel Studios. It has adapted for the stage by Artistic Director Samantha Lane (who also directs), with award-winning musician Barb Jungr composing new music for this musical, puppet-filled adventure. It also features set and costumes by Kate Bunce, puppet design by Judith  Hope and lighting by Sherry Coenen.

George wishes he wasn't the scruffiest giant in town. So when he sees a new shop selling  giant-sized clothes, he decides it's time for a new look: smart trousers, smart shirt,  stripy tie, shiny shoes. Now he's the smartest giant in town . . . until he bumps into  some animals who desperately need his help – and his clothes! 

Julia Donaldson says: "I am so pleased Little Angel Theatre is able to open its doors so  soon after lockdown, welcoming back children and families to enjoy live performance  again. It is such an important experience and we have badly missed it in the last year.  Little Angel have done other wonderful adaptations of my stories, and I know that this  will be just as special. To have The Smartest Giant in Town as their first live show,  with its themes of friendship and kindness, seems timely and I am sure everyone will  enjoy it. I also want to congratulate the theatre on their 60th anniversary this year - what an achievement!" 

Tickets will go on sale on 12  May (subject to government guidelines) here.
