Tintin
Playhouse Theatre, London
Thu, 6th December 2007 - Sat, 23rd February 2008
From £40.00*FOLLOWING a 17-week regional tour, Rufus Norris’ acclaimed adaptation of Tintin will transfer to the West End’s Playhouse Theatre for a limited Christmas run – from December 6, 2007 to February 23, 2008. Tintin premiered at the Barbican Theatre in December 2005 and was a big hit for the Young Vic’s Walkabout Season. Tintin, the popular, quiff-sporting, comic-book, child journalist with his faithful dog Snowy, was created by Herge in the 1929 comic strip, Le Petit Vingtieme. Since then, his adventures have spawned countless books and even the odd film or two. In fact, so popular is Tintin, that three million copies of his escapades are sold each year, in 50 countries and 40 languages. Norris and Scottish playwright David Greig’s Tintin is based on Herge’s most personal work, Tintin in Tibet which sees our hero attempting to save his friend, Chang, from the freezing world of the Himalayas, home of the legendary abominable snowman….. Recent Guildhall graduate Matthew Parish will play Tintin, the role originated by Russell Tovey who was seen recently in The History Boys. Norris’ other credits include Festen, Cabaret and Vernon God Little which has just completed an extended run at the Young Vic where Norris is an associate director
