Adapted for the stage and directed by Arran R Hawkins, the director behind the much loved family shows The Snow Queen, OZ and The Little Prince.
Christian Jolibois and Christian Heinrich, author and illustrator respectively, created a series of books based on the adventures of Carmela the little chicken, and her offspring.
Earlybirds will bring these characters, and more, to life this August 2019.
Meet Carmela, a rebellious young hen who wants more from her life than the chickenly duty of laying eggs for the farmers wife. She wants adventure and excitement.
She wants to see the sea! Join her as she leaves the farm and sets out on a mission that will take her far from home and everything she has known, across the ocean and to the new world. Along the way we will meet sailors and pirates, aliens, and one or two famous humans.
