Hot off the heels of The Gruffalo’s tremendous success, Tall Stories returns to the West End with a sparkling stage adaptation of the sequel children’s book, The Gruffalo’s Child. Originally an award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, The Gruffalo’s Child is sure to feature plenty of songs, laughter and interactive fun for all ages!
No Gruffalo should ever set foot in the deep dark wood… But one wild and windy night, the Gruffalo’s child ventures into the forest, despite her father’s warnings! Following some mysterious tracks in the snow, the brave Gruffalo’s child encounters plenty of predators that are hungry for a snack. But there’s no reason to be scared – after all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist. Does he?
