Curve and Rose Theatre Kingston are proud to announce that their brand new co-production of Dr. Seuss’
The Cat in the Hat is touring and will appear at the Assembly Hall Theatre, Tunbridge Wells from Wednesday 13th to Saturday 16th March.
When the Cat in the Hat steps onto the mat, Sally and her brother are in for a roller-coaster ride of havoc and mayhem! The Cat can rescue them from a dull rainy day, but what mischief do they get up to along the way?
Based on the much-loved book by Dr. Seuss that has captivated generations of readers, The Cat in the Hat features feline frivolity aplenty. With acrobatic accomplices Thing 1 and Thing 2, riotous rhymes, infectious humour and spectacular circus, this family production is set to delight young and old alike.
This family production is created in association with the National Centre for Circus Arts and will feature Nana Amoo-Gottfried (A Winter’s Tale, Theatre for Younger Audiences at The National Theatre) as the show’s chaotic Cat, while actor and opera singer Charley Magalit (Mickey and the Wondrous Book, Walt Disney Company) will play the role of the fearful Fish.
Joining the cast as the children whose house the Cat visits are Sam Angell (Billy Elliot – the Musical, Victoria Palace Theatre) as the Boy and Melissa Lowe (Me and My Girl, Chichester Festival Theatre) as Sally. Completing the company as the Cat’s energetic companions Thing 1 & Thing 2 are acrobats Celia Francis and Robert Penny.
Directed by Suba Das, set and costumes are designed by Isla Shaw (The Witches and The Importance of Being Earnest). Helping to fill the production with circus stunts as Associate Director is circus choreographer Jack Horner, who previously performed in Roald Dahl’s The Twits and recently worked as Circus Captain on Chess at The London Colisuem.
Following the success of Roald Dahl’s George’s Marvellous Medicine, Curve Associate Artist Tasha Taylor Johnson will once again join as Composer, providing 10 original songs.
The Cat in the Hat appears at The Assembly Hall Theatre, Tunbidge Wells from Wednesday 13th March to Saturday 16th March with performance times as follows; Wednesday – Friday at 10:30am, Saturday at 10.00am, 1.30pm and 5.00pm.
