JOIN Mouse on an adventurous journey through the deep, dark wood at The Corn Exchange, Newbury, with The Gruffalo, from Monday, May 30, to Wednesday, June 1.

Mouse can scare hungry animals away with tall stories of the terrifying Gruffalo, but what happens when he comes face to face with the very creature he imagined?

The show promises songs, laughs and scary fun for children aged three and up.

This is a musical adaptation of the award-winning picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler of the same name that won the Smarties Book Prize Gold Award and the Blue Peter Award for Best Book to Read Aloud. It has now become the biggest-selling picture book in Britain.

Over the past five years, Tall Stories' inventive family shows have toured internationally, delighting audiences from London to London, Ontario, Canada, with their unique style of physical storytelling. They were last at The Corn Exchange in June 2004 with The Owl and The Pussycat
