The Enormous Crocodile

This stage adaptation brings Roald Dahl's classic children's story to life, following a hungry crocodile who devises increasingly clever disguises to catch human children for lunch. The tale, originally published in 1978 and illustrated by Quentin Blake, unfolds in an African setting as the enormous crocodile encounters a series of jungle animals who try to thwart his plans.

Audiences can expect a lively retelling of the crocodile's attempts to trick children by posing as a coconut tree, a see-saw, a fairground ride, and a picnic bench. The show features the characters Humpy-Rumpy the hippopotamus, Trunky the elephant, Muggle-Wump the monkey, and the Roly-Poly Bird, who each intervene to protect the children.

This production offers a delightful experience for families, capturing the wit and charm of Dahl's storytelling. The narrative's playful tension and eventual resolution make it a engaging outing for young audiences and fans of the beloved book.
