1pm & 4pm. 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. Tickets £11, Under 16s £9, Family of 4 £32, Schools £8, Groups (10+) £9. Recommended for children aged 8+.
