The Gruffalo

No ratings yet

Lyric Theatre · London

A quick-thinking mouse invents a monster to cross the woods.

First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.

Family

The story

A small mouse walks through the deep, dark wood, where a fox, an owl and a snake each see him as their next meal. He scares them away by describing an imaginary Gruffalo, only to meet the very creature he invented and face an even bigger test of nerve.

In the room

The story unfolds as a chain of woodland encounters, using songs, comic repetition and the mouse's increasingly elaborate bluff to keep the danger playful.

Good fit if you like

woodland adventures, clever underdogs, comic repetition and family storytelling.
