Lakeside presents Flat Stanley
Djanogly Theatre, Lakeside Arts Centre, Nottingham
27 November - 3 January
Based on the story by Jeff Brown. Stanley Lambchop was a normal healthy boy until a notice board fell on him! Now he’s only half an inch thick… Stanley makes the best of his altered state, and soon he is entering locked rooms by sliding under doors, and playing with his younger brother by turning himself into a kite. Stanley even helps catch some art museum thieves by posing as a painting on the wall. But one special advantage is that Flat Stanley can now visit his friends by being mailed in an envelope.
Join Stanley and his brother Arthur on their adventures at Christmas time. He may be flat, but he’s a hero! Suitable for ages 3+ and their families.
