The Gruffalo Child

Description

Based on the successful picture book by Axel Scheffler and Julia Donaldson
An exciting story with mask and puppet play for children aged 3 and up; 45 minutes. Courage overcomes fear and imagination defeats raw strength.
The Gruffalo's father warned about the big, evil mouse! That's exactly why the curious Gruffalo child wants to find this mouse and "learn to be scared". Along the way, it encounters animals that tell it terrible half-truths about the so-threatening "monster mouse".
Eventually, it actually meets the mouse. Oops, it's small! But clever: it uses the light of the rising moon to enlarge its shadow, thus scaring the monster child away. But it is proud and happy to have escaped! This gentle introduction to the exciting world of theater for the very young impresses with well-measured, sophisticated presentation methods:

• Fantastic felted figures that closely follow the enchanting illustrations of the original
• A wonderfully clumsy Gruffalo child, portrayed with mask play
• The impressively versatile stage set
• Music composed specifically for this production, with forest sounds and funny monster noises

Highlights

• Exciting mask and puppet play
• For children aged 3 and up
• Duration: 45 minutes
