Family audiences are invited to meet the worst villains ever when The Baddies comes to Theatre Royal Winchester from Friday 21 March.
The Baddies is a stage adaptation of the book by children’s author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler and tells of a witch, a troll and an ancient ghost who are the worst baddies in the world! The trio love roaring, spooking and casting spells to try and scare a little girl out of her wits, but who will succeed? Or perhaps the girl is braver than they think?
The production is brought to the stage by Freckle Productions, which was founded in 2017 to create fiction and non-fiction shows for children, young people and their families; and whose productions include adaptations of other Donaldson and Scheffler books including Stick Man, Tiddler and Other Terrific Tales, Tabby McTat, Zog and Zog and The Flying Doctors – the latter two of which feature songs by composer Joe Stilgoe who also wrote the music and lyrics for The Baddies.
The Baddies enjoyed its world premiere in Edinburgh in October and is now on tour across the UK.
The Baddies will be at Theatre Royal Winchester from Friday 21 to Sunday 23 March at various times. Recommended age: 3+ (all ages welcome). For more information or to book tickets visit: theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or call 01962 840 440.
