Mog The Forgetful Cat

This event has passed

Based on the books by Judith Kerr and adapted for the stage by The Wardrobe Ensemble

Mog is a very forgetful cat. She forgets that she has a cat flap, she forgets that she’s already eaten her supper, and she forgets that cats don’t have eggs for breakfast every day. Bother that cat!

But Mog’s forgetfulness can come in handy…

Join Mog and the Thomas family, on a journey through one year in the life of a really remarkable cat, as she catches a burglar, gatecrashes a cat show, goes to the V.E.T. and gets to eat lots and lots of eggs. Everyone’s favourite cat might be forgetful, but she certainly has a lot of adventures, and she loves her family very much.

This production is the first ever stage adaptation of Judith Kerr’s bestselling Mog picture books, published by HarperCollins Children’s Books.
