The Children's Touring Partnership presents the Bristol Old Vic production of
Swallows and Amazons

A new musical by Helen Edmundson and Neil Hannon
Based on the book by Arthur Ransome

"Better drowned than duffers. If not duffers won't drown."

All aboard The Swallow! Follow Captain John and his able crew as they set sail to Wildcat Island on an exotic adventure to encounter savages, capture dastardly pirates and defeat mortal enemies.

An action-packed musical adventure for the whole family, Swallows and Amazons is a story of an idyllic era, of endless summer evenings and the beauty of youthful imagination.

This delightful and gloriously imaginative production is directed by Tom Morris who also co-directed the international smash hit War Horse, is written by Helen Edmundson, writer of the National Theatre's astonishing Coram Boy, with music by Neil Hannon aka The Divine Comedy.

Swallows and Amazons for ever!
