Award-winning students' production company Stage by Stage brings its version of the family show Shrek the Musical Jr to the Exeter Corn Exchange.
Stage by Stage are taking Shrek the Musical Jr to the Exeter Corn Exchange on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 October. It's a student production of the family show that made Shrek a stage hit, with music by Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire.
The story follows an ogre who's learned that 'people hate the things they cannot understand', and whose peaceful swamp is invaded by a crowd of banished fairy-tale misfits. Pinocchio, the Ugly Duckling, the Wicked Witch, Peter Pan, the Three Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf are all among those sent there by the villainous Lord Farquaad. To win back his land, Shrek has to rescue the feisty Princess Fiona from a tower guarded by a fierce dragon, with his companion Donkey along for the ride. It's billed as ideal for the half term holidays, and children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
