Kids are a laugh right?

One minute you’re sat at home minding your own business and the next minute they’ve invited a ruddy great tiger around for tea.

They’re a laugh a minute.

Just what you need. You’ve got piles of washing. The lounge needs a hoover and now you’ve got to fend off a Bengal. It’s never quiet.

Actually this is a stunning stage adaptation of the classic tale of teatime mayhem.

The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea. Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don’t expect to see at the door is a big, stripy tiger!

Direct from a smash-hit West End season, the tea-guzzling tiger is back on the road in this delightful family show; packed with oodles of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos!

David Wood OBE is undisputedly the country’s leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children. His many successes include Fantastic Mr Fox, The Gingerbread Man, BFG, The Witches, Meg and Mog,Spot and Babe the Sheep Pig.

Anyway you can catch some grrreat (sorry) tiger mayhem at Newbury’s Corn Exchange from Friday June 19 to Sunday June 21.

It’s on at a load of different times so you better check the website at www.cornexchangenew.com
