Tom Fletcher's The Creakers

Wed 18 Dec 2024 – Sun 5 Jan 2025

Expect surprises, silliness, scares and rocking new songs in a brand new magical, musical adventure for all the family, from musician and author Tom Fletcher.

Three children are jumping off a bed holding flashlights.  They look very excited. Underneath the bed is a shadowy monster with big eyes which look out to the viewer. Surrounding the children is magical dusk.

Ever wondered what you would do if you woke up and all the adults had disappeared? Lucy and the other kids of Whiffington hadn’t – until one morning that’s exactly what happens!

With a town full of children running wild, our reluctant hero and some unlikely friends begin to solve the mystery of a lifetime in a topsy-turvy, back-to-front and inside-out new world underneath her bed… the world of the Creakers!

Based on the best-selling book by singer-songwriter and author Tom Fletcher (Christmasaurus, Space Band), and adapted for the stage by Miranda Larson, this is a story about how it’s often those who are different who end up making a difference.

Book by Miranda Larson
Music and lyrics by Tom Fletcher
Directed and choreographed by Tom Jackson Greaves (Whistle Down The Wind, Priscilla Queen of the Desert)

Presented by Impossible Producing, Smith & Brant Theatricals, Gavin Kalin Productions, Theatre Royal Plymouth and the Southbank Centre
