The Young Vic/Barbican smash hit Hergé's Adventures of TintinCHILDREN UNDER 16 - HALF PRICE ON TOP 2 PRICE BANDS - this offer is only available by phone, please call 0870 060 6631 to book now! Following a nationwide tour Rufus Norris’ critically acclaimed production of Hergé’s ADVENTURES OF TINTIN arrives in the West End for a limited Christmas season in the centenary year of Tintin’s creator Hergé. Originally performed at the Barbican as part of BITE:05, the Young Vic production brings together a hugely talented creative team to tell the story of Tintin in Tibet. The show follows its eponymous hero, his loyal dog Snowy and the curmudgeonly Captain Haddock as they battle to rescue their friend Chang, who has disappeared in a plane crash in the high Himalayas. With time running out, and rumours of the Yeti prowling the peaks, Tintin and friends have a real adventure in store. The production presents a touching, imaginative adventure about friendship, which introduces this well-loved character to a new generation. 2007 marks the centenary of the birth of Tintin’s creator, the Belgian artist Hergé. Hergé was the pen name of Georges Remi and The Adventures of Tintin have proved to be one of the most popular graphic novel creations of all time. Over 200 million copies of the books have been sold worldwide, and continue to sell. Tintin and his friends are about to become global superstars as Steven Spielberg and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson have just announced a three film deal. Tintin has become a cult figure since his creation in 1929, winning a legion of celebrity fans including Hugh Grant and Nick Park. Rufus Norris’ work as a director has earned him the reputation of being one of the UK’s most exciting directors. His recent work includes Vernon God Little at the Young Vic where he is an Associate Director. His production of Cabaret is running in the West End, where his other work has included the hit production of Festen. For Hergé’s ADVENTURES OF TINTIN he is joined by an award-winning creative team including writer David Greig with whom he adapted the book for the stage and set designer Ian MacNeil whose other credits include Billy Elliot and An Inspector Calls. Hergé’s ADVENTURES OF TINTIN will play in the West End for a limited season over Christmas providing a hugely entertaining, intelligent, critically acclaimed family show for audiences. The show’s appeal crosses age and gender boundaries making it a perfect addition to the Christmas calendar. A full supporting education programme is available to younger audiences.
