BIG TELLY PRESENTS

The World Premiere of PUCKOON


Based on Spike Milligan’s legendary comic masterpiece first published in 1963, ‘Puckoon’ is a hilarious and irreverent look at rural community life - an inspired piece of theatrical goonishness that tells a bawdy tale of borders, brass, and bellybuttons.

Adapted by Vincent Higgins and Zoë Seaton
Music by Paul Boyd
Directed by Zoë Seaton

SPRING CHICKENS

Big Telly is delighted to announce 'Spring Chickens', a unique two-year outreach programme focusing on creative expression and engagement within the older community throughout Northern Ireland. The programme aims to challenge perceptions about older people and to inspire individuals to place the older generation at the centre of the community.

Throughout the two years the project will consist of a variety of performances and workshops focusing on a broad range of theatrical skills including creative writing, multi-media, comedy, magic, puppetry, visual design, drama and movement. Spring Chickens, which has been funded by the Atlantic Philanthropies, will culminate in October 2009 when five shows are performed simultaneously across Northern Ireland.

For more information on how to get involved contact Spring Chickens on 028 7083 1782 or email springchickens@big-telly.com.
