Playbox Theatre will stage Ogden's Nut Gone Flake – The Small Faces 1968 concept album – as a show for all the family telling the story of Happiness Stan and his quest to discover the missing half of the moon.With live music from The Small Fakers – the UK's only tribute Small Faces band, actors, dancers, movement animations and puppeteers from Playbox and a guest narrator – the event promises to be unique and it is hoped to raise a substantial amount for Oxjam from the show. Ogden's Nut Gone Flake will premiere on Thursday 20th November with subsequent performances Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd November at The Dream Factory, Warwick.
Director will be Stewart McGill and Production consultants are John Hellier editor of The Small Faces Darlings of Whapping Wharf and Mark Cunningham editor of Total Production International who will provide essential production and biographical support to the creative team.
The Small Fakers (www.smallfakers.co.uk/) will play Ogden's album live each night with an extra set featuring hits of The Small Faces including Itchycoo Park, Tin Soldier, All For Nothing etc.
Watch a classic clip of the small faces performing an excerpt from Ogdens for a TV special here back in 1968.
