Good Companions Musical Theatre: Shrek

Event details

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage, and proves there’s more to the story than meets the ears.
Set in a mythical “once upon a time” sort of land, Shrek the Musical is the story of a hulking green ogre who, after being mocked and feared his entire life by anything that crosses his path, retreats to an ugly green swamp to exist in happy isolation. Suddenly, a gang of homeless fairytale characters raid his sanctuary, saying they’ve been evicted by the vertically-challenged Lord Farquaad.
So Shrek strikes a deal: I’ll get your homes back, if you give me my home back! But when Shrek and Farquaad meet, the Lord strikes a deal of his own: He’ll give the fairytale characters their homes back, if Shrek rescues Princess Fiona. Shrek obliges, yet finds something appealing – something strange and different – about this pretty princess. He likes her. A lot. But why does she always run off when the sun sets?
Weeknight performances at 7.30pm; Saturday performances at 1.30pm & 6.00pm.
Tickets £20 (conc. 16 & under £18.00)
BSL interpreted performances on 2nd November & 5th November 6.00pm performance.
