Running Wild Tour (2017)

10 February – 10 June

By Michael Morpurgo
In an adaptation by Samuel Adamson
Originally produced by Regent’s Park Theatre and Chichester Festival Theatre

Our 2016 production of Michael Morpurgo’s Running Wild embarked on its first UK tour with Children’s Touring Partnership, from February through to June 2017. For Will, going to Indonesia isn’t just another holiday with mum. It’s a new start, and the chance to ride an elephant called Oona. But then the tsunami hit – and Oona charges into the jungle, with her young rider desperately clinging on. This ‘brilliant, life affirming show’ (Radio Times), delighted audiences with imaginative puppetry and energetic staging. The tour launched at Chichester Festival Theatre, before visiting Coventry, Sheffield, High Wycombe, London, Blackpool, Leeds, Salford, Norwich, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Plymouth, Northampton, Canterbury and Wolverhampton.
