The Santee family are unconventional, to say the least. One hundred year old Grandaddy Jake and his enormous grandson Tiny live life on the fringes, drinking whiskey, building fences, boasting of immortality. But then, Fup arrives - an ass-kicking, web-footed, feathery sonofagun. See, Fup is a duck. A very big duck. A very big duck indeed... And she is going to change their world forever. FUP is a big-hearted, uproarious modern fable about family, love and nature set in a weird and wild Cornwall not so different from this one. Featuring live, foot-stomping music, quacking puppetry and Kneehigh's infamous eccentricity and charm, FUP is a story like no other.

Reviews

User Review: 16May18: I saw this production in 2016 and it was beautiful. Full of laughter and lots of love. The acting was brilliant from everyone and the puppetry was (as usual from Kneehigh) top notch! Go and see the play, you won't be disappointed!
