Freckle Productions and Rose Theatre present Zog and The Flying Doctors

by | Jul 26, 2021 | Children, Dartford Entertainment, Dartford News, Entertainment, What's On?

Based on the book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler
The roar-some crew are back for a brand new adventure!


Zog, super keen student turned air-ambulance, still lands with a crash-bang-thump. Together with his Flying Doctor crew, Princess Pearl and Sir Gadabout, they tend to a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with one too many horns and a lion with the flu. However, Pearl’s uncle, the King, has other ideas about whether princesses should be doctors, and she’s soon locked up in the castle back in a crown and a silly frilly dress!


With a bit of help from some friends and half a pound of cheese, can Pearl make her uncle better and prove
princesses can be doctors too?


Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s bestselling sequel, Freckle Productions ( Zog,Stick Man, Tiddler &
Other Terrific Tales, Tabby McTat) bring the creative team behind Zog, Emma Kilbey and Joe Stilgoe, back together
for this truly modern take on the classic fairy tale.
Most suitable for ages 3+ but all ages welcome.


The show will be at The Orchard Theatre from Wed6th April – Thur 7th April 2022.
