A Lichfield Garrick production…
MICHAEL MORPURGO’S FARM BOY
Adapted & directed by Daniel Buckroyd.
It sometimes felt as though time had stood still down on the farm- the old Fordson tractor quietly rusting away at the back of the barn, Grandpa tending his chickens- that is, until the summer his grandson came to stay, and the old man started telling stories of what it had been like when he was a boy. Following successful UK tours and a critically acclaimed run in New York, Michael Morpurgo’s compelling sequel to ‘War Horse’ returns to the stage in this delightful, family-friendly show combining drama, storytelling, and original music-a moving account of the changing face of the English countryside and a beautifully crafted reminder that stories really can reach out across the generations.
