946: The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips at The Globe

Stage adaptation of Michael’s novel by Michael himself and Emma Rice at The Globe between 11 August – 11 September 2016.

Based on Michael Morpurgo’s The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips, 946 explodes everything we thought we knew about the D-Day landings. With signature Kneehigh sorcery, 946 uses music, puppetry and foolishness to tell this tale of war, prejudice and love. Tender, political and surprisingly romantic, this story speaks to us all and will finally reveal the secrets the US and British governments tried to keep quiet.
