FROM THE BARN THEATRE ARCHIVE

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

By Richard George
Directed by Chris Bruce
Assistant Director Lauren Christy
Musical Director Rachel Thomas
21st – 31st December 2006

The weird and wacky Willy Wonka opens the doors of his chocolate factory to the most gruesome of creatures – children. But there’s something worse…their parents. When the five Golden Tickets are found, this simple tale unfolds into a modern allegory on greed, obnoxiousness and bad parenting. Roald Dahl’s tale is an old one yet says much about our world today. This exciting production promises a mix of music, song and visual spectacle with the rather dark edge that Dahl is famous for. Oh, and the odd child may well get sucked up a big tube of molten-hot chocolate. Well, let’s hope so!
