A few words about the play
A mouse went for a walk in the deep, dark forest… Searching for his hazelnut, he encountered the cunning fox, the eccentric owl and the snake who goes to every party. Will the mouse manage to escape the hungry creatures of the forest through the story of the terrifying Gruffalo?
After all, there is no such thing as a Gruffalo… or is there…?
This delightful and interactive performance, full of music, humour and imagination, invites children and adults alike on an exciting journey where anything is possible! Cleverness, ingenuity and courage become valuable allies against our greatest fears.
A frighteningly fun performance, full of laughter and music, for children up to 80 years old!
