About Dr Dolittle
When Doctor John Dolittle of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh is taught by his wise old parrot Polynesia how to talk to animals, news of his skills spreads far and wide. Soon animals across the world send messages asking for his help. So, with a leaky old ship and together with his trusty pet- crew of Jip the dog, Chee-Chee the monkey, Dab-Dab the Duck and permanently hungry Gub-Gub the pig, he sets forth on a mission to heal illness, spread compassion and gain a greater understanding of the animal kingdom. A funny, much-loved and exciting adventure, with a strong message about responsibility towards animals and the environment! Following the enormous success of their last sell out production Ali Baba & The Forty Thieves, Wizard Theatre returns with Dr Dolittle in association with international award-winning theatre company Illyria. Wizard Theatre has been performing shows and workshops since 2002. Illyria has performed more shows to a wider area than any other UK open-air touring company. Now in it’s 28th year!
