Based on Michael Morpurgo’s novel The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips, 946 explodes everything we thought we knew about the D-Day landings, using music, puppetry and foolishness to tell this tale of war, prejudice and love.
Imagine being told to leave your home...
Imagine American soldiers occupying your house and land...
Imagine being 12 and angry, with only a cat to tell your secrets to...
Well it all happened (most of it anyway) in Slapton Sands, Devon, in 1944.
Tender, political and surprisingly romantic, 946 - The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips speaks to us all and finally reveals the secrets the US and British governments tried to keep quiet.
Shakespeare’s Globe brings Emma Rice’s triumphant Kneehigh show for families to London for the first time. 946 is co-adapted by Michael Morpurgo, one of the UK’s most loved and successful authors whose work includes War Horse, Running Wild, Kensuke’s Kingdom and Private Peaceful.
