About this Event
Tickets: £24.50 - £8.50
The Santee family are unconventional, to say the least. 100-year-old Grandaddy Jake and his enormous grandson Tiny live life on the fringes, drinking whisky, building fences, boasting of immortality. But then, Fup arrives – an ass-kicking, web-footed, feathery sonofagun. See, Fup is a duck. A very big duck. A very big duck indeed…And she is going to change their world forever.
Fup is a big-hearted, uproarious modern fable about family, love and nature set in a weird and wild Cornwall. Featuring live, foot-stomping music, quacking puppetry and Kneehigh’s infamous eccentricity and charm, Fup is a story like no other.
Based on the novel by Jim Dodge
Adapted & directed by Simon Harvey
