Theatre by the Lake hosts Huck, an ambitious, lyrical and riveting adaptation of Mark Twain’s confrontational and brilliantly funny novel, which focuses on Huck, the outcast urchin, and Jim, a runaway slave with a bounty on his head, who are fleeing down the mighty Mississippi river on their makeshift raft towards new dangers and adventures.

Free tickets for those under 26 are available.

Huck is at Theatre by the Lake in Keswick on Monday, March 15 and Tuesday, March 16. 7.30pm. For further information telephone 017687-74411.
