Following a critically acclaimed run in Edinburgh, Red Bridge Arts and the Traverse Theatre Company take Black Beauty cantering onto stages around Scotland in early 2017. Blending storytelling, music and puppetry, this vibrant re-telling of Black Beauty offers fun and adventure for fans of the book, classic TV show and those brand new to the tale, and is sure to warm your heart during chilly winter nights. Performed by Andy Manley (White, My House) and Andy Cannon (Labyrinth, Arthur), with design by Shona Reppe (White, Huff), it was a huge hit with families of all ages during its Christmas run at the Traverse.
The Black Beauty tour runs from 27 January to 19 February and will be staged at 11 venues across the country. Described by The Guardian as “a galloping, five-star triumph,” Black Beauty “deserves every overjoyed round of applause” (The Independent). The Scotsman described the show as “beautifully realised, and a stream of inventive genius that seems like the spirit of hope itself”.
