The Big Bad Wolf
When? 16 August 2025
Where? Athelhampton House & Gardens - Dorchester
Come with The Big Bad Wolf on a musical journey of plotting and scheming, and find out whether he really is as bad as he would have you believe! The Big Bad Wolf has been banished from Fairy Tale Land after years of causing nothing but trouble. Living in exile in the forest, he parties every night with his villainous cronies, playing rock music and sticking his claw up at the goody goody townspeople. Until one day he hears that his arch nemesis, Little Red Riding Hood, is organising a country fair for everyone in the land (apart from him of course) where the Three Little Pigs will be performing their new oompa band act. The Big Bad Wolf has let those pigs outwit him one time too many, so he comes up with a plan to convince Little Red that he is a changed wolf, and should be allowed back into society. If he can win her over, he’ll secure an invite to the country fair and he’ll finally get a chance to gobble those pigs up once and for all!
Running time: Approx. 90 mins, inc. 15 minute interval
This will be an action packed, fun filled adventure for all the family to enjoy. Think Shrek, but with a classic outdoor theatre spin, filled with live music played by the actors. It will be silly and fast paced but with a heartwarming message.
Bring a Picnic, low backed chairs and enjoy......
Gates open at 5pm for picnicing, performance starts at 6pm.
