‘We are the very worst baddies in the world, Don’t you dare to come too close, To a witch, a troll and an ancient ghost.’

The Baddies love being bad. They roar, spook and cast spells to try and scare a little girl… but will they succeed? Or perhaps the girl is braver than they think…

With songs by Joe Stilgoe (Zog and Zog and the Flying Doctors), The Baddies is a wickedly hilarious adaptation by Freckle Productions (Zog, Stick Man, Tiddler & Other Terrific Tales) of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s smash-hit story.

Relaxed Performance
Sunday 3 August, 3.30pm

This special show is designed to be inclusive and enjoyable for everyone, especially those with Autism Spectrum Conditions, sensory and communication disorders, learning disabilities, or anyone who prefers a more relaxed theatre experience.

Feel free to move around the auditorium and make noise whenever you need to. We’ve made some gentle adjustments to the performance, such as reducing loud sounds and flashing lights, and keeping the house lights at a low level throughout the show. If you need a break, a quiet room is available for you to use.

To help you prepare, a Visual Story is available in advance. Before the show starts, our cast will introduce themselves and their characters, along with some examples of sounds and props you’ll see and hear during the performance. After a brief pause, the magic will begin!
