Huck, an outcast teenager and Jim, a runaway slave, are fleeing down the Mississippi on their makeshift raft.
Fresh Glory Productions in association with Shapeshifter and The Theatre Chipping Norton
Written by James Graham, from the novel by Mark Twain
Directed by John Terry
Adventures grow wilder, stories taller, and the people they meet more outlandish as they journey through a young America, searching for freedoms without and freedoms within.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain’s all-time classic novel of taking chances and pushing boundaries, is brought crashing onto the stage by award-winning theatre company Shapeshifter.
With live music and a charmingly funny script, Huck is a messy, raucous and uncouth epic for young, old and everyone in between.
Suitable for ages 8+
Touches on issues of racism and slavery.
Tickets: £8.50 to £19.50
Matinée flat rate: £8.50

I always feel that putting a novel about a river journey on stage, especially such an ethereal novel as Huckleberry Finn ( Twain said persons attempting to find a plot will be shot) is quite a challenge – what do you leave in? what do you leave out? And how do you give an impression of movement and water on such a fixed medium.
