About HONK! - Hans Christian
Andersen's classic tale has been
transformed into a modern musical
comedy appropriate for everyone in
the family. Written by George
Stiles and Anthony Drewe, Honk!
tells the story of Ugly, odd, gawky
looking and instantly incites
prejudice from his family and
neighbours. Seperated from the farm
and persued by a hungry Cat, Ugly
must find his way, while his loving
mother, Ida, searches for him.
Along his journey he not only
discovers his true beauty and
glorious destiny, but he also finds
love and acceptance. Honk! with all
of its wonderful humour, charm and
message of tolerance, is perfect for
audiences of all ages.
