Fantastic Mr Fox


During the school holidays Nanoo had planned on taking Henry and Milly to see a production of Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox. On performance day Nanoo was feeling a bit unwell, so we traded places (ie she looked after Buster). It was a rare treat for me to take the kids. Usually I'm rushing them to school, preschool, swimming lessons etc. It's all go, go, go. It's rare I get to do something fun with them, where I can sit down and enjoy the experience to.


We packed a lunch and joined the other punters. The play was being performed outside and thankfully the rain that has been ever present the past few months stayed away (only just).


The tree and the foxes hole. Mr Fox and Mrs Fox.


The farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean.


The feast.


The play was performed by a young drama school and I have to say it was really good. Henry and Milly were already familiar with the story having been read the book a few times and they really enjoyed it to.
