“I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees!”

Inspired by Dr. Seuss’s classic tale, The Lorax tells of a moustachioed and cantankerous critter who’s on a mission to protect the earth from the greedy, tree-chopping, Thneed-knitting businessman known only as The Once-ler.

Adapted by David Greig and brought to the stage by acclaimed director Max Webster (James And The Giant Peach, To Kill A Mockingbird, Twelfth Night), The Lorax blends theatrical invention, songs and zany humour in a timely and vibrant Christmas show with a message that will speak to audiences of all ages.

    We went with a 4 & 7 yr olds and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Completely bonkers with a great message that my kids took home with them. Best production we've seen in ages...shame it has to finish ❤️

    Lovely show, well written,great choreography. One negative was as this is aimed for children i felt it was slightly too long for their attention span, other than that a great show.
