HERGE'S ADVENTURES OF TINTIN
Wed 29 August - Sat 1 September 2007
Press Night: Wed 29 Aug, 7pm
If your dog has star quality a plenty he could win a part in the first UK tour of Herge's Adventures of Tintin at The Lowry this August by entering Bone Idol.
One Snowy look-alike will win the opportunity to star alongside Tintin as his loyal side-kick in a mid week matinee. The winning dog will get the full star treatment with a press photo call, a pair of tickets for friends, a signed programme and a certificate from the cast. There are also tickets and photos for the two runner up dogs and a chance to be part of the photo call.
Dogs who want to try their paw should log onto www.tintintheshow.co.uk for full competition details. All entries will be posted on the show site and the public will vote for which dog best resembles Snowy.
Following the huge success of Vernon God Little, Cabaret and Festen, Rufus Norris leads an award-winning creative team bringing the book Tintin in Tibet to life.
In an exciting and humorous adventure Tintin, his loyal dog Snowy and the curmudgeonly Captain Haddock battle to rescue their friend Chang lost in a plane crash in the high Himalayas. With time running out, and rumours of the Abominable Snowman prowling the peaks, this will be the most testing adventure yet for our fearless young reporter and his friends.
Tintin has been loved by generations of children and adults since he was invented by Belgian artist Georges Remi in 1929, and he has sold over 200 million copies of the books worldwide. The comic strip series has since been admired for its clean, expressive drawings in Herg's signature ligne claire style. Engaging and charming plots straddle a variety of genres: swashbuckling adventures with elements of, fantasy, mysteries, political thrillers and science fiction. The stories within the Tintin series always feature great humour, presenting a number of characters in distinctive settings.
Tintin has also attracted the attention of Hollywood. He is on the threshold of superstardom as a 3D, digitally enhanced movie star. Steven Spielberg and The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson have announced a three-film deal, with the first installment due in 2009.
