YOU could be forgiven for thinking twice about getting the best tea service out in the Malvern area next weekend.

The reason? A tea-guzzling tiger will be bounding into Malvern’s Forum Theatre for a grrrreat musical play!!!

Adapted and directed by David Wood, Judith Kerr’s ferociously popular tale - The Tiger Who Came to Tea - will provide quite a lesson for all … because if you’ve never had a Tiger arrive for tea, then this loveable production is the perfect way to show the whole family how to behave the next time one rings the doorbell.

When Sophie and her mummy welcome the hungry Tiger to tea, he proceeds to eat all the sandwiches, buns, biscuits and more. And even manages to the drink all the water in the tap! What will Sophie’s Daddy say when he gets home?

The Tiger Who Came To Tea is the perfect slice of teatime mayhem with sing-a-long songs, oodles of magic and interactive fun for children aged three-plus and their families.

David Wood is undisputedly the country’s leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children, whose many successes include: Spot’s Birthday Party, eight Roald Dahl adaptations, including West End hits The BFG, The Witches and George’s Marvellous Medicine; and Goodnight Mister Tom the Olivier Award-winner 2013 for Best Entertainment and Family.

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 furry, stripy tiger!

The Tiger Who Came to Tea, a truly magical Olivier Award nominated production, will be appearing live on stage at the Forum from Friday, May 15 to Sunday, May 17.
