Children’s show back for UK tour this summer

- Hamilton Town House

Join Hairy Maclary & Friends again this summer, for canine capers and animal adventures, as they bound off the page and onto the stage at Hamilton Town House on Saturday, July 16.

Hairy Maclary & Friends is an official stage adaptation of the muchloved Hairy Maclary children’s books, by celebrated writer Lynley Dodd. “Out of the gate and off for a walk, went Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy”, and children and adults will instantly recognize the opening lines of bestsellin­g book Hairy Maclary from Donaldson’s Dairy.

Come and meet your favourite characters such as Hercules Morse, as big as a horse; Bottomley Potts, covered in spots; Schnitzel von Krumm, with the very low tum; and Scarface Claw, the toughest tomcat in town.

This hugely popular show is packed with live music, singing, colourful costumes and six of your favourite Hairy Maclary stories.

Sing along and do the actions with all the characters.

Hairy Maclary & Friends is a family Fringe treat – you’d be barking mad to miss it!

Since its premiere in 2010, the Hairy Maclary & Friends stageshow has entertaine­d thousands of children in the UK and overseas.

Following three weeks of sold-out performanc­es at the Fringe in 2010 and an extensive UK tour in 2011, Hairy Maclary & Friends were invited to play the 2011/2012 Christmas season at Sydney Opera House and the run was extended due to popular demand.

In 2012-13 the show toured extensivel­y in the UK, Australia and New Zealand and has since visited Hong Kong and Singapore.

The production company are delighted to be bringing the show back to UK audiences in 2016!

The production is presented by Scottish company, Nonsense Room Production­s.

Bruce Strachan, Artistic Director, said: “We are absolutely delighted to be touring Hairy Maclary again this year.

“After taking the show around the world we are excited about bringing the little dog with the big personalit­y back to a UK audience in 2016.”

There will be two shows, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.
