946: The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips is a compelling stage experience that blends puppetry, live music, and an ensemble cast to bring Michael Morpurgo’s poignant story to life. Directed by Emma Rice and adapted from Morpurgo’s novel, this production is known for its life-size cat Tips, a cast of puppets, and a live onstage jazz/blues band led by a dedicated Blues Man character. The show’s setting—Launched in 1944 at Slapton Sands, Devon—ties to Operation Tiger and the casualties of war, adding historical depth to the intimate, imaginative storytelling. Here, you’ll find a trusted insider overview: biography, notable works, and touring history, plus how to secure seats for future performances.
