Babe, The Sheep Pig returns this Christmas to the Polka Theatre, before undertaking a major UK Tour starting at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in February 2017.
Adapted from Dick King-Smith's beloved children's novel which inspired the Oscar-winning 1995 film, Babe is a heart-warming tale of friendship, bravery and adventure.
When Babe arrives at Hogget’s Farm he is taken in by the trusty sheepdog Fly, and soon discovers a talent for herding. With the help of his adopted Mum, the polite piglet soon wins over the most suspicious of sheep. But can a small pig make it in a dog’s world, and when his farmyard friends are in trouble can Babe save the day?
Olivier Award-winning playwright David Wood OBE has adapted Babe, The Sheep-Pig for the stage. David's adaptations of Goodnight Mister Tom, James and the Giant Peach, The BFG and The Tiger Who Came To Tea, have delighted families across the UK. David also wrote the book and lyrics for The Go-Between, currently starring Michael Crawford in The West End. Some of the greatest puppetry talent in the world is being brought together for this extraordinary production. The residents of Hogget’s Farm will be brought to life by beautiful hand-crafted puppets, created by award-winning puppet designer Max Humphries (Chief Puppet Designer, Cirque de Soleil) and Dik Downey, with the ensemble cast delivering masterful puppetry by puppetry director Matthew Forbes (Associate Director in Puppetry & Movement, War Horse). The cast of actor-musicians features Emma Barclay (You Me Bum Bum Train) as Mrs Hogget, Olivier Award-nominated Nicola Blackman (Little Shop of Horrors and The Lion King, West End) as Fly, Oliver Grant (War Horse, National Theatre) as Babe/Sheep and Ben Ingles (Romeo and Juliet, RSC) as Farmer Hogget. The cast also features Claire Greenway (Sister Act, London Palladium), Jacqui Sanchez (Shrek the Musical and Avenue Q, West End), Lucy Thomas (Bugsy Malone, Lyric Hammersmith) and Sam Wilmott (Wicked and Lord of the Rings, West End).
Babe, The Sheep Pig will be directed by Michael Fentiman and produced by Tom O'Connell Productions.
Babe, The Sheep-Pig is an adventure suitable for all ages.
