Zog and the Flying Doctors
Zog and the Flying Doctors

ZOG and the Flying Doctors is a wonderful theatrical experience for young children and their families. Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling sequel, Freckle Productions bring the creative team behind Zog, Emma Kilbey and Joe Stilgoe back together for this truly modern take on the classic fairy tale.

The energetic cast kept the young members of the audience enthralled throughout the 60-minute production. On this adventure Zog, the flying dragon, Ben Raymond, is acting as an air ambulance for his Flying Doctor friends Princess Pearl, Lois Glenister and Sir Gadabout, Alex Bloomer. They set of to help where they can, treating a sunburnt mermaid, unicorn with two horns and a lion with the flu. Everything goes wrong when Princess Pearl visits her uncle the King, Danny Hendrix. He believes she should wear a frilly dress and a crown and shouldn’t be a Doctor, promptly locking her away in the tower. When the King falls ill, Princess Pearl knows how to save him, and sends Zog and Sir Gadabout to complete the quest.

There is plenty of interaction for the young children and they loved joining in. The songs are incredibly catchy. This is the perfect start for the summer holidays.

Runs until Sunday 24th July.
