Mog the Forgetful Cat - from the beloved children's book series by Judith Kerr - is making her stage debut at Cambridge Arts Theatre next month.
Directed by Helena Middleton and Jesse Jones, the "lively and enchanting" production uses original songs, live music and a menagerie of creatures great and small to bring the iconic stories to life.
Mog is a forgetful cat. She forgets that she has a cat flap, she forgets that she's already eaten her supper, and she forgets that cats do not have eggs for breakfast every day.
However Mog's forgetfulness can come in handy...
Audiences are invited to join Mog and the Thomas family on a journey through a year in the life of a remarkable cat, as she catches a burglar, gatecrashes a cat show, goes to the vet and get to eat lots and lots of eggs.
Everyone's favourite cat might be forgetful - but she certainly has lots of adventures, and she loves her family very much.
Adapted for the stage by The Wardrobe Ensemble, Mog the Forgetful Cat is a co-production between The Old Vic, Royal & Derngate Northampton and The Wardrobe Ensemble - and had its world premiere at Royal & Derngate Northampton in June 2022.
The bestselling Mog picture book series is published by HarperCollins Children's Books.
Author Judith Kerr was born in Berlin, but her family came to England in 1933 to escape the rise of the Nazis.
