The Gingerbread Man Runs as Fast as He Can to the Court Theatre
THE GINGERBREAD MAN will be running as fast as he can on The Court Theatre's stage from 3 October.
Dan Allan, Kathleen Burns and Tom Trevella star in this new version of the classic fairytale adapted by Dan Bain and
Carl Nixon into a fun-filled production "filled with silliness and surprises", according to director Melanie Camp.
In Bain and Nixon's version, the audience help a hapless chef (Trevella) figure out the recipe to create the gingerbread
man before the freshly-baked biscuit (Allan) decides he doesn't want to be a snack and goes on the run from a variety of
pursuers (played by Trevella and Burns).
Camp describes the show as "magically theatrical" with plenty of physical comedy, accompanied by a funky musical score
by Hamish Oliver.
THE GINGERBREAD MAN is at The Court Theatre from 3 - 13 October and recommended for ages 4 and over.
