There’s a ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ stage play coming to Melbourne in September

The ever-charming Fantastic Mr Fox is coming to Australia from September 20 – 24 and will be shown at Arts Centre Melbourne. Witness the eye-popping stage adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic story about Mr Fox and his escapades outwitting the three mean farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean (one fat, one short, one lean). Actors interact with full-stage projected animation in this whacky adaptation, one that promises to be overflowing with cunning plans, explosions and chases as well as mischief, mayhem and humongous belly laughs.

“The story has all the trademark grit, wit and grotesque deliciousness we have come to expect from Dahl,” said shake & stir theatre co’s Artistic Director Ross Balbuziente. “It features three of his most hilarious meanies – Boggis, Bunce and Bean. At the same time, the beating heart of the story is the importance of friendship and family and the reminder that when we work together, anything can be accomplished,” he continued.
