The beautiful posters and flyers for Friend or Foe feature an image of two little boys evacuated to Devon. The image was found by our designer Carey Marks at Scarlet Design and is being used with the kind permission of The Western Morning News. We’d love to find out who these boys were. If anyone knows anything about them, then do please e mail us on admin@scamptheatre.com

SWAMP JUICE presented by Bunk Puppets and Scamp Theatre

Welcome to a swamp like no other. Bickering toads, overbearing fairies and a rather gentle swamp monster. Using shadow puppetry, acclaimed Canadian performer Jeff Achtem’s award winning show about life in a swamp, is a stunning show like no other, with a jaw dropping 3D finale. This astonishing show made audiences of all ages literally scream the house down, at this years Edinburgh Festival. Yes, it’s that good! Swamp Juice is a must see for all ages, and will undertake a London run before being available on a UK tour from May 15^th – July 2012. Devised and performed by Jeff Achtem.
You know we have great taste, but don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what the press said…
“a joyous hour of five-star DIY genius.” Donald Hutera, The Times
“madly enjoyable” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
“dazzling…a real treat.” The Stage Must See
 ***** “simply has to be seen to be believed” Whatsonstage.com

We are now booking our new production for Spring & Summer 2012 on the middle scale.

Under sea, over land, down the farm and in the jungle, these tales are woven together with songs, laughs, puppets and characters who will delight.

An absolute treat for ages 3 + and their families from the Creative Team behind Stick Man – Live on Stage!

We were thrilled that Julia Donaldson, Children’s Laureate was able to see STICK MAN – LIVE ON STAGE! at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2011.  Pictured left to right are Brian Hargreaves, Mark Kane, Julia Donaldson and Peta Dennis.  Julia undertook a book signing while the cast entertained the crowd with the entire ‘Stick Family’.  Many thanks to Waterstone’s and Underbelly staff who helped to make the event such a success despite the down pour.

We are delighted to have launched our new web-site with huge help from Pink Imp! We have now added a ‘Venue Zone’ for each show on tour that includes downloadable images, copy, tech specs, press releases and workshop details where applicable.
