The Cat In The Hat, the acclaimed stage of Dr Seuss's famous children's character will return to the Pleasance Theatre, Islington this Christmas for a limited season from 6 December 2016 to 2 January 2017.

From the moment his tall, red-and-white-striped hat appears around the door, Sally and her brother know that the cat in the hat is the funniest, most mischievous cat they have ever met. With the trickiest of tricks and craziest of ideas, he turns a rainy afternoon into an amazing adventure. But what will mum find when she gets home?

Based on the much-loved book by Dr Seuss that has captivated generations of readers, The Cat in the Hat is a lively and engaging first theatre experience for young children aged 3+.

Originally produced by the National Theatre in 2009, this stage adaptation was presented at the Pleasance Theatre in 2014 and had two sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival. The production was adapted and originally directed by Katie Mitchell. This current production is directed by Lillie Collier and designed by David Shields. The production is presented by Paul Taylor-Mills.

REVIEW: Rent, Greenwich Theatre ✭✭✭✭

In this production, the creative team and cast have clarified Jonathan Larson’s message. By returning to the Broadway roots, recreating the ambiance of the bohemian Alphabet City of the Nineties, and focussing on the narrative drive of the show, Rent becomes relevant. This is an admirable revival of a modern classic.
