One wild and windy night, the Gruffalo’s Child ignores her father’s warnings about the Big Bad Mouse and ventures out into the deep dark wood. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist after all... or does he?

A trio of bright new performers fill the forest with colourful characters and foot-tapping, sing-along songs. Audiences will be dazzled with brand new costumes when the return season entices fans with the magic of the deep dark wood.

The Australian production of The Gruffalo’s Child has attracted critical acclaim, with the Sydney Morning Herald describing it as “winningly played”, and the Courier Mail saying it “can't fail to please”.
