Fantastic Mr Fox (Till 20 Aug)

After the successful sell out run last year, Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Curve and Lyric Hammersmith announce that the production of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox will return for a second run at Lyric Hammersmith this summer.

Audiences were so full of praise for the production, which was adapted for the stage by Sam Holcroft, directed by Maria Aberg with original music by Arthur Darvill that it only a matter of time before thisimpressive productionmade it’s triumphant return.

The story centres on Boggis, Bunce and Bean, three greedy, smelly, horrid farmers hate the cunning Mr Fox.

Mr Fox is smart, intelligent and rather fantastic, but he does notrealise 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 which promises a Dahlicious theatrical feast with live music and songs.
