Dr Dolittle
The Adventures of Doctor Dolittle
by Hugh Lofting, adapted by Oliver Gray
This funny, much-loved and exciting family adventure is back!
We're bringing back our hit 2018 show! When Dr John Dolittle of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh is taught by his wise old parrot Polynesia how to talk to animals, news of his skills spreads far and wide.
Soon animals across the world send messages asking for his help. So he buys a leaky old ship and, together with his trusty pet-crew of Jip the dog, Chee-Chee the monkey, Dab-Dab the Duck and permanently hungry Gub-Gub the pig, sets forth on a mission to heal illness, spread compassion and gain a greater understanding of the animal kingdom.
Running time (approx): 1hr 50mins (inc 20 minute interval)
