The Ugly Duckling is a fable about being a little different.

Spring has sprung and Mother Duck is delighted when her eggs begin to hatch. But when the last duckling emerges he looks nothing like his fluffy yellow siblings. Picked on for being clumsy, scruffy and different, the ugly duckling sets off on an epic journey to find the place where he truly belongs.

The Ugly Duckling is adapted from the story by Hans Christian Andersen.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
