Theatre preview : Fantastic Mr Fox – King’s Theatre

Promising more puns and alliteration than a wily fox who is Professor of Puns & Alliteration at The University Of Cunning ought to know, King’s Theatre proudly introduce Roald Dahl’s anti-hero bane of Boggis, Bunce and Bean – Vulpes vulpes, the cunning Mr Fox.

And he is about to get more than his claws dirty in his epic showdown with those three greedy, smelly, horrid farmers whom for once, agree to stop hating each other and participate in a pact of paramilitary pursuance against our eponymous red egomaniac menace.

Mr Fox 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? Can of worms indeed!

Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox is family fun at its finest. A juicy tale of greed, pride and the power of friendship, this brand new musical adaptation promises a dahlicious theatrical feast with live music and songs and gloriumptious designs. A wondercrump treat for the whole family!
