Michael Morpurgo’s Farm Boy. A Lichfield Garrick production. Adapted & directed by Daniel Buckroyd.

It sometimes felt as though time had stood still down on the farm – the old Fordson tractor quietly rusting away at the back of the barn, Grandpa tending his chickens – that is, until the summer his grandson came to stay, and the old man started telling stories of what it had been like when he was a boy.

Following successful UK tours and a critically acclaimed run in New York, Michael Morpurgo’s compelling sequel to ‘War Horse’ returns to the stage in this delightful, family-friendly show combining drama, storytelling, and original music – a moving account of the changing face of the English countryside and a beautifully crafted reminder that stories really can reach out across the generations.

★★★★ “A fantastic feel good show for all the family” What’s Good To Do
“This production has at its core a story that hooks you in and keeps you captivated.” Capable Child Blog
★★★★ “a sparkling gem of a production” Behind The Arras
