In Bath with the Gruffalo this Christmas
Following a sell-out run in the West End at Christmas, Tall Stories’ live stage adaptation of the best-selling picture book The Gruffalo returns to the Theatre Royal Bath from Tuesday September 1 to Saturday September 5 as part of a UK tour.
Join Mouse on an adventurous journey through the deep dark wood in this magical, musical adaptation of the award-winning picture book The Gruffalo. Mouse can scare hungry animals away with tall stories of the terrifying Gruffalo, but what happens when he comes face to face with the very creature he imagined?
The Gruffalo is an ideal introduction to theatre for pre and primary school children and their families – if you are still not convinced you can watch a sneak preview online at www.gruffalolive.com
This 2009 tour coincides with the 10th birthday of the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, which has now sold more than three million copies worldwide.

Born in 1948, Julia Donaldson was born and raised in North London. A writer of songs for children’s BBC television, her first publication ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’ in 1993 was as a direct result of her song writing abilities with this indeed originally beginning life as one of Donaldson’s musical compositions. This first book was illustrated by Axel Scheffler and was set to be the beginning of a long and fruitful working relationship and friendship. Taking inspiration from diverse themes such as Chinese folklore (The Gruffalo) and from her own natural ability with rhyme and language Donaldson has revealed a true affinity with children and their fantastical view of the world around them.
