Leeds Playhouse director of creative engagement, Alex Ferris, said: “I’m intensely excited about directing Toby Hulse’s irreverent version of this classic adventure story. For me, theatre is at its best when the audience is acknowledged and get to play and share in the story on stage.

"We want everyone to join us on this ambitious and slightly crazy mission to tell this epic story that passes through over 10 different countries, meeting over 30 different characters, featuring daring rescues from the jaws of death, high speed chases, displays of cunning and classic British grit, and a fair share of costume changes with just our 4 actors and a handful of props.

Following its run at Leeds Playhouse, the production will tour to eight community partner areas within the Leeds City Region.
