Animal magic arrives at Milton Keynes Theatre from Tuesday (March 7) when Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox begins at five-day stay in town.
Boggis, Bunce and Bean, three greedy, smelly horrid farmers hate the cunning Mr Fox.
He is smart, clever and rather fantastic, but he doesn’t realise how determined the farmers are to get revenge.
Can he hatch a plan to save his family and friends? Can they outrun the diggers and outsmart the farmers, and can rabbit shut up long enough not to give the game away? Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox is family fun at its finest.
A juicy tale of greed, pride and the power of friendship, this flagship production for the Roald Dahl centenary celebrations, promises a dahlicious theatrical feast with live music andsongs and gloriumptious designs.
You might say this is a wondercrump treat for the whole family!
The work has been adapted for the stage by Sam Holcroft, who has a definite form - her most recent work premiered at the National Theatre in 2015, and the year previously she was a recipient of the Windham Campbell Prize for Literature in the Drama Category.
And that’s not her only gong!
The work features original music by Arthur Darvill, who is as well known for being in front of the camera as he is for writing a score - Broadchurch fans will know him better as the Rev. Paul Coates in ITV's gripping drama. A little crumb of trivia there for you, folks!
