The Court Theatre presents THE UGLY DUCKLING

Written by popular children's playwright, Carl Nixon, THE UGLY DUCKLING follows a young duckling on her adventure into the big wide world, encountering a host of characters - from a flamboyant Hans Christian Anderson to two very crazy French frogs - along the way.

Torum Heng stars as the Ugly Duckling, and is joined by Jonathan Martin (currently starring in Roger Hall's sell-out FOUR FLAT WHITES IN ITALY) and Rutene Spooner (in his first production as The Court's 2009/2010 acting intern), filling out the multitude of other characters. At the helm is director Ross McKellar, who promises that "children will delight in this play, with its fun characters and inventive audience interaction."

With all tickets only $7, THE UGLY DUCKLING is fantastically affordable school holiday entertainment, full of delightful songs, characters and interaction. It is recommended for children aged 3 to 10.

THE UGLY DUCKLING plays The Court Theatre, Monday 28 September - Saturday 10 October, Mon-Fri 11am & 1pm, Saturdays 11am. All tickets $7.*
