G. The Gruffalo We’ve got two showings of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s award winning story performed by Tall Stories whose unique brand of physical story theatre has taken them around the world. The show will bring to life the amazing story of the clever Mouse’s journey through the forest as he beguiles the creatures who’d like to eat him with tales of his friend the Gruffalo’s terrible tusks and terrible claws, until he encounters the Gruffalo’s terrible teeth in his terrible jaws for himself.
