Win a family pass to The Gruffalo! - Is your favourite food roasted fox, owl ice cream, scrambled snake or Gruffalo crumble? This delectable tale about the adventures of a clever little mouse in a forest full of predators, THE GRUFFALO, returns after sell-out seasons to Canberra Theatre Centre on September 26 and 27.
Thanks to The Chronicle, readers have the chance to win 1 of 3 family passes (2 adults and 2 children) to see The Gruffalo at Canberra Theatre Centre on September 27, 2.00pm.
A monster hit in Britain, Europe, America, this “transformation of a well-loved story into an exuberant, funny show” (Time Out, London) has also been a massive hit in Australia, with sold-out seasons and a prestigious Sydney Theatre Award for Best Production for Children.
Adapted from the Gold Award-winning children's book, THE GRUFFALO follows Mouse into the deep dark wood on the hunt for hazelnuts. Armed with just a nut map and a very vivid imagination, Mouse runs into the smirking, wheeler-dealer Fox; an eccentric, retired Woodland Air Force General Owl; and the maraca-shaking, party animal Snake. Rather than becoming the main course of their next meal, Mouse kills their appetites with stories of an imaginary monster friend. But what happens when Mouse welcomes face to face with the very creature she imagined? In a production that has become the toast of London’s West End, Tall Stories & CDP vibrantly reinvent this delightful tale through its signature style of bold, multifaceted storytelling.
A triumphant trio of performers, Stephen Anderson, Chandel Brandimarti and Graeme McRae, fill the forest with colourful characters and toe tapping, sing-along songs. This monster of a show beautifully captures the magic of Donaldson and Scheffler’s adored “modern classic” (The Observer).
The Australian production has attracted critical acclaim, with the Sydney Morning Herald calling it "funny, charming and smart... brings the house down", while the Courier Mail said "While your children are having a whale of a time... you will too!"
