A Twist In Bullseye’s Tale

The Dukes has hit the Bullseye with its latest outdoor walkabout production.

Thousands of people have already enjoyed Oliver Twist which runs until August 15 and one particular character has his own fan base – of the doggy variety.

Bill Sikes’s dog, Bullseye, can’t go anywhere now without his canine fans bothering him for a selfie.

Just the other day before the show, he was pawsing awhile on a bench in Lancaster’s Williamson Park when he was joined by some furry friends.

Fortunately, The Dukes Artistic Director, Joe Sumsion, was on hand to make sure Bullseye didn’t go barking mad with all the attention.

But Bullseye is made of strong stuff. The metal mutt was crafted by puppet designer John Barber and accompanies Bill Sikes every night as he goes about his dastardly deeds in Lancaster’s beautiful park.

To see Bullseye in action for yourself, book tickets at The Dukes Box Office on 01524 598500 or visit www.dukes-lancaster.org. Oliver Twist is recommended for anyone aged 5 plus.
