The Gruffalo, Artsdepot

What has knobbly knees and turned-out toes? A poisonous wart at the end of his nose? A Gruffalo, as every child knows, and this much-loved monster is making its way to artsdepot this summer.

One sunny afternoon, an adventurous mouse ventures into the Deep Dark Wood. Can his cunning save him from becoming a midday meal for the hungry forest creatures? He threatens them with the fearsome Gruffalo – a creature of his own invention with glaring orange eyes and purple prickles – but what happens when the Gruffalo comes to life?

Tall Stories adapt Julia Donaldson’s and Axel Scheffler’s award-winning children’s book into a riot of a production for children ages three and up. Clap along to an original score, and get dancing with musical monsters this July.

The Gruffalo Live promises terrible claws, terrible jaws, and a tremendous show.
