This year everyone’s favourite furry monster roars into the Hall for Cornwall as Tall Stories’ returns to the stage.

Tall Stories’ The Gruffalo is based on the much loved picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The most fearsome creature that never was - but is - takes to the stage in this enchanting production combining songs, laughter and storytelling theatre with just the right amount of scary fun.

Set to a wonderfully catchy score with original music and lyrics, The Gruffalo is a must-see show which continues to entertain audiences the world over.

Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell from Tall Stories said: "Back in 1999, when we asked Julia and Axel if we could adapt their then little-known book The Gruffalo for the stage, we had no idea how things would turn out. The original 2001 tour involved three actors in a car (not even a stage manager) touring to schools and small venues. To go from there to the West End, Broadway and the Sydney Opera House has been quite a journey."

Join Mouse on a daring adventure through the deep, dark wood: Searching for hazelnuts, Mouse meets the cunning Fox, the eccentric old Owl and the party mad 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?

The Gruffalo will be at the Hall for Cornwall on September 12 and 13, for tickets and information go to hallforcornwall.co.uk or call 01872 262466.
