Penguin Ventures has teamed with Sam Bradshaw Productions to bring a new live show starring classic picture book pup, Spot, to the stage in 2024.
Based on Eric Hill’s lift-the-flap stories, Where’s Spot? and Happy Birthday Spot – published by Puffin – the new stage adaptation, Spot’s Birthday Party, will be touring the UK from February 2024.
The interactive show will include games and dancing, with words and songs by writer and director, Guy Unsworth.
“We are thrilled that Spot will be returning to the stage in this brand-new adaptation,” commented Thomas Merrington, creative director at Penguin Ventures. “I am certain that young audiences will love seeing Spot brought to life in this accessible and inclusive show. Guy Unsworth and Sam Bradshaw Productions have really created something wonderful in taking Spot from page to stage.”
Loveable puppy, Spot, has been an integral part of early childhood since he first appeared in the classic lift-the-flap storybook Where’s Spot? in 1980. Since then, over 65 million Spot books have been sold worldwide by Puffin and the series has been translated into over 60 languages.
