Travel with The Gramophones on an exciting journey into the unexpected!
All aboard the Wild Duck for a journey that isn’t quite shipshape! Follow our intrepid and slightly inept adventurers as they embark on a voyage into the unexpected.
In the wake of mysterious disappearances the boat’s captain insists that the Wild Duck stays moored up on the banks of the canal. But with one passenger in search of an adventure and a stowaway searching for a lost friend, it’s not long before the boat sets sail!
Straying into unchartered waters, the three quirky characters enter a strange world where fantastical things begin to happen, and they discover things that once were lost… Wild Duck is a very visual, playful show in which the audience is integral to the adventure, they make the weather conditions, transform into ducks and even make their own boats to transport the characters.
