Best Bits

Based on Michael Morpurgo’s The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips, 946 explodes everything we thought we knew about the D-Day landings. With signature Kneehigh sorcery, 946 uses music, puppetry, and foolishness to tell this tale of war, prejudice and love. Co-adapted by Michael Morpurgo himself, one of the UK's most loved and successful authors, whose work includes War Horse, Kensuke's Kingdom and Private Peaceful. 

  • 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…
  • Tender, political and surprisingly romantic.
  • This story will speak to all ages. 
  • From the amazing Kneehigh Theatre.
