Duration

55 min

Witness the comic stage adaptation by David Wood as it bewitches and amuses children, just like the original story did nearly 50 years back!

  • Get ready for David Wood’s brilliant adaptation of the beloved children’s book. Having sold over 10 million copies across the world, The Tiger Who Came to Tea by British writer Judith Kerr was nominated for the Olivier awards and continues to be extremely popular among children. Well known for his stage adaptations of Roald Dahl classics, Wood, proclaimed by The Times as The National Children’s Dramatist, promises a hit! Book your tickets to The Tiger Who Came to Tea show in London and laugh along at the over-the-top antics and the humorous scenes.

  • The hilarious plot revolves around a young girl, Sophie and a loveable tiger. One day, when Sophie is having tea with her mother, a friendly tiger turns up at her house and joins them for some tea. What follows is a series of amusing moments that make up this marvellous tale.
