Illyria Theatre Presents...
BABE THE SHEEP-PIG
by Dick King-Smith, adapted by David Wood
For 3 consecutive summers Illyria has been the only open-air
touring company granted permission to perform Roald Dahl
adaptations by the Dahl estate. In 2013 Illyria turns to Dick
King-Smith's glorious classic.
Farmer Hoggett wins a piglet at the fair - and everyone knows
what unfortunate fate awaits piglets on a farm. Adopted by Fly the
sheepdog, Babe develops his own methods of herding sheep using
politeness instead of barking orders, and even saves the flock from
being stolen by sheep rustlers. But Farmer Hoggett is a hard man to
please. So when Babe is entered for the county sheep dog trials he
is going to need Fly's help, all his wits, and as much politeness
as he can muster if he is going to get the sheep to co-operate, win
the trials, and save his bacon.
Dick King-Smith's heartwarming tale of friendship, courage and
determination is vividly brought to life by the same creative team
behind Illyria's sensational record-breaking 2012 production of The
Twits. It is suitable for all ages 5+.
Gates open 5.30pm. Performance starts 6.30pm.
£12.50 adults
£6.50 child

The event will only be cancelled in the event of a
