A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood...

Tall Stories' enchanting stage adaptation of the bestselling picture book returns for another run at Northfield, having delighted over a million children worldwide since its premiere.

Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep dark wood, where she encounters a fox, an owl, and a snake — all of whom fancy her for lunch. But Mouse has a secret weapon: the terrifying Gruffalo, with terrible claws and terrible jaws and terrible teeth in his terrible jaws. The only problem? Everyone knows there's no such thing as a Gruffalo... or is there?

With catchy songs, puppetry, and plenty of audience participation, this show is the perfect first theatre experience for young children. Relaxed performances are available — see the Access page for details.

Recommended for ages 3–7, but children of all ages (and their grown-ups) will find plenty to love.
