The Firkin Crane

Honk The Musical

07 Jun 2009 - 08 Jun 2009
2.30 and 7.00 pm
Tickets: €tba Spring has sprung in the farmyard… IDA and DRAKE, the mallards, await the arrival of their new brood….but the clutch seems to contain one mysterious egg. When it hatches its occupant’s ‘quack’ sounds more like a ‘honk’! Although taken aback, Ida quickly warms to the new arrival's gentleness and lovely qualities. But her sisters mock her mercilessly, calling her ’UGLY’ and the only friend she makes in the farmyard is the suspiciously friendly CAT, who invites her to ‘dinner’. Feeling completely alone and outcast, ugly flees the farmyard. Ida, devastated, launches a search party. Somehow she survives the bleak winter, and in spring the returning swans guide IDA to her long-lost daughter for a reunion and triumphant return to the farmyard.

This heartwarming re-telling of a traditional tale is a feel-good story for the start of the summer holidays.
