The Ugly Duckling at The Everyman

Until 2 January – The Ugly Duckling will be waddling into Cheltenham as The Everyman Theatre prepares to stage its magical family fairytale.

Young children from across Gloucestershire will get to see Hans Christian Anderson’s heart-warming fairytale brought to life on The Everyman Theatre’s stage this Christmas, when The Ugly Duckling is performed.

The timeless story of a big brown duckling, who is told he is too ugly and different to stay at the farmyard, will be put on the stage by the Stroud-based Red Dog Theatre company throughout the festive period.

Aimed at younger audiences, The Ugly Duckling will give parents a prime opportunity to kick-start their kids’ enjoyment of the theatre, and grown-ups should love it too.
