The Tiger Who Came To Tea by Judith Kerr comes to New Theatre Royal, Lincoln

Youngsters are invited to join tiger for tea at Lincoln’s New Theatre Royal as the ever-popular children’s book is brought to life this weekend.

The Tiger Who Came to Tea, by Judith Kerr, is celebrating 12 years on stage and over 50 years as Britain’s best-loved picture book.

It is on stage at Lincoln at 2pm tomorrow and 11am and 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.

The show is recommended for children aged three and over. It has a running time of around 55 minutes with no interval.

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, stripy tiger!

Join the tea-guzzling tiger in this delightful family show packed with plenty of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos.

This Oliver Award-nominated stage adaptation of the classic tale of teatime mayhem comes direct from London’s West End.

It is produced by Nicoll Entertainment and directed by David Wood.

David Wood is one of the country’s leading writer and director of plays for children. His many successes include The Gingerbread Man, The Witches and Babe The Sheep Pig.
