The Gruffalo

A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood…

With millions of copies of the book having been sold, it’s fair to say that Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler’s award-winning Gruffalo has captured the hearts and minds of children everywhere. 

Tall Stories’ stage adaptation follows Mouse as he heads out on a journey through the deep dark wood, scaring away hungry animals with tales of the terrifying Gruffalo. Imagine his surprise, then, when he suddenly finds himself coming face-to-face with the very creature he’s been talking about! 
Tall Stories’ delicate yet playful approach to their material - and their ability to let whatever story they’re telling speak for itself, without flashy gimmicks or over-the-top costumes - places them at the very forefront of family theatre. 

An imaginative and engaging musical that comes complete with some good old-fashioned audience participation, The Gruffalo offers truly ‘monstrous’ fun for children aged three and older.
