Adult comedy show Sammy J and Heath McIvor in the Forest of Dreams at The Lowry and Venue Cymru

Aug 27 2009 by Paul Mannion, Flintshire Chronicle

AN ADULT comedy, starring 14 puppets, takes you on a fantasy journey through a magical forest in a unique comedy spectacular.

Sammy J and Heath McIvor in the Forest of Dreams, which was nominated for best show at last year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival, comes to The Lowry, Salford, and Venue Cymru, Llandudno, in September.

Following a sell-out, critically acclaimed, run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and London’s West-End, the cult-adult-comedy-musical-puppetry hit is touring the UK.

Join Sammy J and Heath McIvor as they take you on an adventure into a magical forest where creatures live in harmony, picking berries for their king.

But is everything really as happy as it seems? Featuring crude toe-tapping tunes the production takes on the music of Disney, the drama of The Lord of the Rings and the emotion of Les Miserables, in a skewed tribute to the tales of our childhood.

Sammy J and Heath McIvor in the Forest of Dreams comes to The Lowry, Salford, from September 3-4, at 8pm. For more information ring 0870 111 2000. And at Venue Cymru, Llandudno, on 7.30pm, for more information ring 01492 872000.
