FOR the first time ever, the classic story of Sophie and her extraordinary teatime guest will come to life at Theatre Royal Brighton.
The doorbell rings just as Sophie and her mummy are sitting down to tea.
Who could it possibly be? What they certainly don't expect to see at the door is a big, stripy tiger!
The enduringly popular tale of a tiger creating teatime mayhem is brought to the stage in a show packed with magic, sing-along songs and clumsy chaos.
Judith Kerr's The Tiger Who Came To Tea is one of the best-selling and best-loved picture books of all time.
Since it was first published in 1968, it has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide and is translated in more than 20 different languages. October 2008 is the 40th anniversary of The Tiger Who Came To Tea.
Judith is also renowned for another of her feline creations, Mog.
Mog books have also featured on bestseller lists for the past 30 years and have sold more than three million copies.
David Wood OBE, who adapted it for the stage, is the country's leading writer and director of plays and musicals for children.
His many successes include Fantastic Mr Fox, The Gingerbread Man, BFG, The Witches, Meg and Mog, Spot and Babe the Sheep Pig.
Don't miss out on this wonderfully entertaining show for children aged three and up. Teatime has never been so entertaining!
The show runs from October 30 to November 1.
