DUCKTASTIC, which will open at the Alberry Theatre in London stars Sean Foley and Hamish McColl. Foley and McColl are the award-winning team that brought the smash hit,
guest star-studded show 'THE PLAY WHAT I WROTE' to the stage.

Christophe Ursula Sassoon is in the last chance saloon of his career – all his hopes for a return to LAS VEGAS ride on DUCKTASTIC! Roy de la Rue, who is in fact Roy Street, a pet shop owner from Portsmouth, volunteered to help Sassoon out with a trick three weeks ago and has never left. With Sassoon drinking so much, he not only needs a hip flask, but a hip replacement flask, and with Roy barely keeping mind and body together, the magic tricks start to go wrong...

But is there real magic the air tonight, and can DAPHNE THE DUCK save them all?

Come with them on a journey of magic and illusion into the beyond, and beyond that, into the very backside of beyond…

"DUCKTASTIC", which is directed by Kenneth Branagh and designed by Alice Power, re-unites the team behind the 2001 smash-hit "The Play What I Wrote".

"DUCKTASTIC" will be choreographed by Michael Rooney, (Mickey Rooney's son, the director of Kylie Minogue's "Showgirl Tour" and the choreographer of Spike Jonze's video of Christopher Walken dancing to Fat Boy Slim's "Weapon of Choice"), with lighting and special effects by Patrick Woodroffe, (currently lighting The Rolling Stones tour, having just designed the lighting for The WYNN, Steve Wynn's new hotel in Las Vegas). The original music is by Steve Parry and the magic is by the world renowned Simon Drake, who only got the job because of his name.
