The Gruffalo at Z-arts
Shekina Rose, Families Editor
But who is this creature with terrible claws, and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws?
This autumn half term an exciting adventure awaits with Mouse and friends in the deep dark wood for Tall Stories’ production of The Gruffalo at Z-arts, based on the best-selling classic picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, which is celebrating 25 years in 2024.
Mouse is hungry and searching for nuts to eat in the deep, dark wood. But on his way, he meets some other hungry creatures, a sly fox, an eccentric owl, a slimy, slithery snake… and they want to eat Mouse for their dinner! But Mouse has a cunning plan. To scare away Fox, Owl and Snake Mouse tells the petrifying story of his made-up Gruffalo… What Mouse doesn’t realise, however, is that the Gruffalo, with all his fearsome ways, might actually exist!
Oh help. The Gruffalo is hungry too and he’s looking for a Mouse to eat with a slice of bread! Can Mouse outwit and escape the Gruffalo, and finally find the yummy, nutty treat he’s been looking for all day?
Expect sensational songs, an enchanting woodland set, brilliant costumes, some of the catchiest rhymes to ever exist in this show described as the ‘ultimate family favourite’ by Whats On Live. You’ll be laughing, smiling and singing along in this energising production, we promise!
The Gruffalo at Z-arts is less than an hour-long, which is a perfect length of time for children aged 3 and up and their grown-ups to enjoy together. Book your tickets through the link below.
