Be enchanted by Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit and Me is back by popular demand at the National Children’s Theatre (NCT) following the success of the original production in August and September 2020.

The production, which will appeal to people aged three to 100, brings to life one of the children’s favourite rabbits and also gives audiences a glimpse into Beatrix Potter’s life and the early beginnings of an iconic independent female author.

Eleonore Godfroy of NCT said, “The production is filled with humour, adventure, colourful characters and all the wonder of children’s theatre.”

Godfroy explained that NCT wanted to give families who could not attend the original production a chance to see the show and for those who loved it to see it again.

An audience member who took her grandchildren to watch the production said, “I would watch it again in a heartbeat. And so would my three-year-old and eight-year-old grandchildren.”

Godfroy said NCT strived to present shows that were entertaining and educational.

“Attending a live theatre performance is a magical and memorable experience for young children, but it is so much more. Theatre encourages children to learn from seeing life on stage, teaches them to imagine the unimaginable and cultivates curiosity. Support local and support the arts.”

Audience members can bring along blankets, picnic baskets and enjoy the lively, interactive, professional and hilarious show.

“Directed and choreographed by Ivor Jones, with set and décor created by Sarah Roberts and music by Dale Scheepers, without forgetting a stellar cast, all the ingredients are there to enjoy an enchanting and inspiring show.”
Tickets cost R130 each and can be booked online through Quicket.
