"Thousands of children laughing and falling in love with theatre."

Musical Theatre Review

 
 

FRECKLE PRODUCTIONS specialise in producing superb theatre shows for children, based on books by the brilliant Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

 

ZOG was made in 2020 to major acclaim, before theatres closed, and was remounted this summer to glowing audience reviews.

 

Zog features remarkable puppets designed by Lyndie Wright, co-founder of Little Angel and wonderful, witty songs by acclaimed singer, pianist and songwriter Joe Stilgoe.

STICK MAN has toured nationally and played London’s West End for ten years. Originally directed by Sally Cookson and designed by Katie Sykes, it is currently directed by Mark Kane…who was the original Stick Man and who has worked extensively with Sally Cookson as an Associate.

 

TIDDLER AND OTHER TERRIFIC TALES which also features Monkey Puzzle, The Smartest Giant in Town & A Squash and a Squeeze has toured for several years. This delightful mid-scale show features clowning, songs and endlessly inventive props and costumes. Tiddler will tour in Spring 2022 followed by a run at Cadogan Hall in London.

 

A brand new version of TABBY MCTAT will tour in Spring 2023 and play Cadogan Hall in London during August 2023.
