This delectable tale about the adventures of a clever mouse in a forest full of predators continues to delight young fans of the massively popular book. Adapted from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s award-winning bestseller, The Gruffalo follows young Mouse as he sets out into the woods on a hunt for hazelnuts. Armed with just a nut map and a very vivid imagination, Mouse encounters a smirking, wheeler-dealer Fox, an eccentric old Owl, and a maraca-shaking, party-mad Snake! But rather than become the main course of their next meal, clever little Mouse scares them away with tall tales of his imaginary monster friend - the Gruffalo! But what happens when he comes face to face with that very same creature he imagined.....?
Magnificently staged, The Gruffalo is packed with humour, songs and scary fun, and is the perfect introduction to theatre for families and children - aged 3 to 300!
