Two bored kids. One rainy day.
And one crazy cat wearing a red-striped hat.
In 1957, Theodor Seuss Geisel used this
formula and only 200 words to write
his second children's book as Dr. Seuss.
More than 50 years later, The Cat in
the Hat is a much-loved children's
literature classic and now a zany,
imaginative play coming to Blenheim on
October 7. The play was adapted for the
stage in 2009 by the National Theatre
of Britain.
The Cat in The Hat interrupts this rainy
afternoon with his unexpected visit
to Sally and her brother's cosy home.
Their outspoken and outraged pet Fish
is astounded and concerned, but this cat
will not be deterred. He will teach us all
to make our own fun with nothing but a
little imagination. "It's fun to have fun,
but you have to know how." Along with
Thing One and Thing Two, the cat will
f ill the theatre with mischievous
humour and madcap style. Young and
old alike will delight in this faithful
adaptation of a classic book come to
life before our very eyes. Spoiler alert:
Things run amuck, and quickly.
