by James Graham

Show starts: 7.30pm (3pm Sat. mat.)
Running time: 160 mins, including interval
Huck, an outcast teenager and Jim, a runaway slave, are fleeing down the Mississippi on their makeshift raft. Adventures grow wilder, stories taller, and the people they meet more outlandish as they journey through a young America, searching for freedoms without and freedoms within.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain’s all-time classic novel of taking chances and pushing boundaries, is brought crashing onto the stage by award-winning theatre company Shapeshifter. With live music and a charmingly funny script, HUCK is a messy, raucous and uncouth epic for young, old and everyone in between.
Suitable for ages 8+, contains issues of racism and slavery.

I forgot how good a play could be!

We saw Huck in Keswick and loved it so much we drove all the way to Buxton to see it again!
Audience member, Buxton Opera House
We adored every single aspect of the play; the acting, singing, music, set... EVERYTHING! You truly inspired us today and we are so happy that we could watch you! We want to see it again and again!
