He is the Lorax, he speaks for the trees, and the Old Vic invites you to see him this October – bring your families.
Following rave reviews and an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment and Family Show, Dr. Seuss's The Lorax returns to the London stage. Writer David Greig, the mastermind behind the West End's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has translated Dr Seuss' peculiar poetry and eccentric cast of characters for the stage with flair – with some help from musician Charlie Fink. (This isn't the first time Greig and Fink have collaborated for the Old Vic: the pair co-produced the show Cover My Tracks earlier this year.)
The Lorax is a heart-warming, silly-yet-sincere fable about an ambitious young man called Once-ler attempting to make his fortune from the tufty foliage of the Truffula trees. The only thing standing between him and this concentrated deforestation effort is the titular Lorax – determined, orange, and moustachioed – who attempts to defend the forest and its inhabitants.
