The first ever stage adaptation of Judith Kerr's beloved Mog will be performed by returning cast members Tom England, Kerry Lovell, Jesse Meadows and Ben Vardy, as well as new cast members Max Gallagher, Georgina Goodchild and Maria Goodman.

This lively and enchanting production of Judith Kerr's bestselling Mog picture books, published by HarperCollins Children's Books, is directed by Helena Middleton and Jesse Jones and uses original songs, live music and a menagerie of creatures little and large to bring the iconic stories to life. Mog The Forgetful Cat held its World Premiere at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, last year.

'Bother that cat!' Mog is a very forgetful cat. She forgets that she has a cat flap, she forgets that she's already eaten her supper, and she forgets that cats don't have eggs for breakfast every day. But Mog's forgetfulness can come in handy... Join Mog and the Thomas family, on a journey through one year in the life of a really remarkable cat, as she catches a burglar, gatecrashes a cat show, goes to the V.E.T. and gets to eat lots and lots of eggs. Everyone's favourite cat might be forgetful, but she certainly has a lot of adventures, and she loves her family very much.

The Co-Directors are Helena Middleton & Jesse Jones, Composer & Musical Director is Joey Hickman, Show Musical Director is Max Gallagher, Designer is Laura McEwen, Sound Designer is Beth Duke, Lighting Designer is Rajiv Pattani and Movement Director is Catriona Giles, with Additional Casting by Saffeya Shebli.
