Everyone’s favourite ogre is back this Easter thanks to South Hill Park.
The Bracknell-based arts centre is to stage its take on the Oscar-winning smash hit film and Broadway musical, Shrek The Musical.
It needs little introduction: unlikely hero Shrek, and his wisecracking friend Donkey, lead a cast of fairytale misfits – cast off by tiny terror Lord Farquaad – on an adventure to rescue a feisty princess and find true acceptance.
Part romance and part twisted fairy tale, Shrek The Musical is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.
Director Mark Hooper said: “It has been an absolute joy to work on a theatrical presentation of such an iconic film.
“Donkey, Farquaad, Fiona and, of course, Shrek himself are ready to take you on a hilarious, action-packed, musical adventure unlike any other; with foot-thumping songs, larger-than-life costumes and a set so gorgeous, you would believe you have fallen through the cinema screen straight into the Dreamworks’ film.”
The show is performed from Monday, April 11 to Monday, April 18, and the cast includes Brad Clapson, who has had a residency as the dame in South Hill Park’s pantomimes in recent years.
Tickets cost from £20, to £23.50. Family tickets are also available.
