The Gruffalo

Following sell-out seasons around the world, including London's West End and Broadway, The Gruffalo returns to Brisbane's QUT Gardens Theatre from December 14-16, 2023.

Adapted from the Gold Award-winning children's book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, and winner of Sydney Theatre Awards Best Production for Children (2015), The Gruffalo is sure to delight children aged 3 years and older, plus their grown-ups.

Join Mouse on a daring adventure into the deep dark wood on a hunt for hazelnuts. Armed with just a nut map and a very vivid imagination, she runs into the smirking, wheeler-dealer Fox; an eccentric, retired Woodland Air Force General Owl; and the maraca-shaking, party animal Snake.

Rather than becoming the main course of their next meal, Mouse kills their appetites with stories of an imaginary monster friend. But what happens when Mouse comes face to face with the very creature she imagined?

In a production that has become the toast of London’s West End, Tall Stories & CDP vibrantly reinvent this delightful tale through its signature style of bold, multifaceted storytelling.

A trio of bright new performers fill the forest with colourful characters and toe tapping, sing-along songs. Audiences will be dazzled with this monster of show when it returns to Brisbane in December.
