The Story
The show follows a brave little mouse on a perilous quest for hazelnuts in the deep dark wood. As he navigates the dangers of the forest, he encounters a series of hungry predators – a sly fox, a wise old owl, and a sneaky snake. With each encounter, the quick-thinking mouse devises a cunning plan to escape their clutches. His secret weapon? A fabricated monster called the Gruffalo, complete with terrifying tusks and a fearsome appetite. But will this imaginary creature be enough to save the day?
