As Sophie and her mum sit down for tea, the doorbell rings and they are joined by a very unexpected guest.
Operated by The Society of London Theatre
The Tiger Who Came To Tea
Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, LondonAdapted by David Wood, The Tiger Who Came To Tea is based on Judith Kerr’s award-winning children’s book.
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.
This year, the charming picture book celebrates its 40th anniversary with a play packed with plenty of magic, sing-a-long songs and clumsy chaos.
The Tiger Who Came To Tea is suitable for children over three years of age.
