In February 2023, Puffin Books, a division of Penguin Books, announced they would be re-writing portions of many of Roald Dahl's children's novels, changing the language to, in the publisher's words, "ensure that it can continue to be enjoyed by young readers of all ages today". He was also the author of Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG and many more brilliant stories. Developed and directed by Emily Lim ( Brainstorm, Company Three / National Theatre; Pericles, National Theatre), the production will feature a menagerie of mischievous puppets by one of the UK’s leading puppetry directors and designers Toby Olié, (Spirited Away, Imperial Theatre Tokyo; Pinocchio, National Theatre; 101 Dalmatians, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre) who also co-directs.

All of them are suitably horrified and come to the aid of the children as crocodile tries one tricky disguise after another. A new musical for young audiences of The Enormous Crocodile, co-produced with Leeds Playhouse and Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. It’s definitely not my favorite of his that I’ve read so far, but it was still funny and the pictures were enjoyable.

The Enormous Crocodile is a 1978 children's story written by British author Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.

The productions have been created and developed by the Roald Dahl Story Company’s in-house theatre division. Their founding objective as a charity is to further the education of the public in the art of literature and creativity, by running a museum and literature centre based on the works of Roald Dahl.Whilst the story also features the Roly-Polly Bird and Muggle-Wump, who would later feature in The Twits adds to the enjoyment. I think this is just one of those things natural to all children who already feel like prey with all these nasty adults hanging around.

I am thrilled that my soon to be 4 year old daughter is now old enough to hear his stories at bedtime. Dahl wrote more than 60 short stories and they have appeared in numerous collections, some only being published in book form after his death. The story is the titular enormous crocodile who is a very nasty and evil croc that likes to eat children.Except because he's not very nice to the other animals in the jungle, they're always there to thwart his plans. The end of 2022 necessitated squeezing in a brief toddler’s book under the wire for my quota, ensuring I was free to enjoy a truly happy New Year’s Eve with my man. We are enormously excited to announce the full cast for the world premiere of our snaptastic musical extravaganza of The Enormous Crocodile, featuring a menagerie of puppets, toe-tapping tunes and mischievous audience interaction.
