This week we're joined by George Bailey from multi-arts company Chew Boy Productions to talk about Aardman animations' classic 2000 film Chicken Run. The highest-grossing stop-motion animated film in history, the plot centres on a band of chickens who see a rooster named Rocky as their only hope to escape the farm when their owners prepare to turn them into chicken pies.


As we stage this in our hypothetical theatre we talk about how to make actors non-cringy chickens, keeping audiences cooped up in a barn, creating senses of scale, family messaging and more!


Let us know what you thought of our staging, and what you'd do differently:
