Duckie at HOME

HOME's family show, Le Gateau Chocolat's Duckie, will be available exclusively online on demand, allowing audiences around the world to enjoy this open-hearted take on Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale of The Ugly Duckling.

The show was initially due to run from 16 DECto 23 Dec, but will now be available online until 3 JANand will feature a special video message for audiences from Le Gateau Chocolat.

Set in an animal circus, Duckie takes the audience on an adventure of self-discovery with family-friendly glitz and glamour in a celebration of difference.

Tickets for both online shows will be available on a pay-what-you-decide basis, while live tickets for Sh!t Actually remain at just £10.

And in an additional piece of festive news, there will be a special collaboration with Manchester Camerata for audiences to enjoy free at home from 22 Dec, just in time for Christmas. More details of the show are to come next week.

Kevin Jamieson, Head of Programming at HOME, said: "Christmas is a magical time and so we were determined to bring these shows to an audience, no matter what. Our team at HOME have worked incredibly hard to ensure that we can respond quickly to the latest Government announcement and ensure everyone can enjoy this these brilliant shows whether that's in our theatre or from their own homes."
