“Out there, somewhere, someone’s gonna love ya. Warts and all!” If there was ever a more universal message, in lyric form, its this. Based on the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale, “Honk!” is a musical retelling of the classic, “The Ugly Duckling”. Set against the back drop of a farm, involving all sorts of poultry and feline folk, its a children’s story with themes many can relate to; namely, the struggles of being different.
Written by the talented musical duo, Stiles and Drewe (Half a Sixpence, Mary Poppins, Wind in The Willows), “Honk!” celebrates its 20th Anniversary with this latest production at The Union Theatre. A blacked out studio, The Union Theatre is an open and intimate space, using minimal set, that gave the impression of an old derelict barn.
