Richard Earl and Jack Hulland in Travels With My Aunt

Creative Cow theatre company brings Graham Greene's Travels With My Aunt to Blackpool Grand Theatre September 20 to 24, marking the 25th anniversary year of Greene's death.

The visit follows a successful spring tour.

The adaptation of one of the author’s most entertaining books—"the only book I have ever written for the fun of it"—the play takes its audience on a journey, plotting one ordinary man’s journey of self-discovery.

Four actors represent 20 colourful characters, each playing a part in Henry Pulling’s transformation.

The storyline not only mirrors Greene’s own real life obsession with travelling, but also his secret service work and his brushes with criminals.

Creative Cow is a touring company created in Devon in 2007 by founders Amanda Knott, Matthew Parish and Katherine Senior.
