Information for The Ugly Duckling at The Lucky Chance, Frome (Kids show). There once was an ugly duckling ... Rejected by all and sundry until he wakes one day as a beautiful swan. When Mother Duck's eggs start to hatch, one of her ducklings is a little bit different from the others. He's larger, clumsier and just, well, not quite like the rest.... This beautiful new show from Kneehigh's Mike Shepherd fuses storytelling, live music and puppets from Lyndie Wright (The Little Angel) to bring the beloved Hans Christian Andersen tale to life in a sweet, silly and sometimes sad show for children aged three and up.
