See How They Run comes to Manchester Opera House next month courtesy of Warwick Davies and the Reduced Height Theatre Company, the first theatre company made up of entirely short actors—all in the cast are under four feet tall.
With a career spanning three decades, Davies is best known for his roles in Willow, Star Wars, the Harry Potter films and most recently on TV in Life’s Too Short, Doctor Who and An Idiot Abroad 3.
See How They Run is regarded as one of the best farces written by Philip King. Set in 1944 in a vicarage in the village of Merton-cum-Middlewick, it is a quintessentially British play featuring a maid, a spinster, a German soldier, retired actors, a bishop and a handful of vicars. A plot of mishaps and mistaken identity causes the action to spiral out of control.
