A funny and much-loved exciting family adventure, the story of Dr John Dolittle of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh who is taught by his wise old parrot Polynesia how to talk to animals. News of his skills spreads far and wide and soon animals across the world send messages asking for his help. So he buys a leaky old ship and, together with his trusty pet-crew of Jip the dog, Chee-Chee the monkey, Dab-Dab the Duck and permanently hungry Gub-Gub the pig, sets forth on a mission to heal illness, spread compassion and gain a greater understanding of the animal kingdom. With over 20 amazing puppets, a circus-themed set and more than 30 fully orchestrated songs, a fabulous adaptation of Hugh Lofting's story with the incredible Illyria. Brilliant outdoor theatre. Suitable for ages 5+ (younger children welcome and free).
