Join Concerteenies for the musical story of ‘The Duck With No Luck’, for children aged 3-7 and their families.
‘When Dizzy the duck oversleeps and misses the flight South, he knows that he must, somehow, catch his friends up. Unfortunately, Dizzy doesn't have a good sense of direction. Can anyone help him on his way? Join him as he encounters a mischievous pigeon, a well-meaning parrot, and a hungry vulture… not to mention swampy jungles and a chase into space!’
Narrator Polly Ives, bassoonist Daria Phillips, pianist Annabelle Lawson combine new music, composed by award-winning Paul Rissmann, and digital animations by Victor Craven, with this much-loved children's book written by Jonathan Long and illustrated by Korky Paul.
With songs and actions to join in with and a relaxed and friendly environment, this is a perfect introduction to music, animation and storytelling.
The Duck With No Luck is published by Oxford University Press. This piece was commissioned by Concerteenies (2024) thanks to funding from Arts Council England. Co-created with children and teachers at Barnsley primary schools.
Tickets: Children £10, Adults £12
General sale will open at 10.00am on Tuesday 27 January 2026
