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



Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood in Tall

Stories’ magical, musical adaptation of the classic picture book by Julia

Donaldson and Axel Scheffler - celebrating 25 years in 2024!



Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old

Owl and the high-spirited Snake. Will the story of the terrifying Gruffalo

save Mouse from ending up as dinner for these hungry woodland

creatures? After all, there’s no such thing as a Gruffalo – is there?



Songs, laughs and monstrous fun for children aged 3 and up and their

grown-ups, in the much-loved show that’s toured Britain and the world!
