Oak Ridge Playhouse: Fantastic Mr. Fox
Category: Kids, family, Literature, spoken word, writing and Theatre
Adapted by David Wood, From the book by Roald Dahl
Performances: March 29 @ 2:00 pm & 5:00 pm and March 30 @ 2:00 pm
Roald Dahl’s much-loved story follows the vain attempts of three farmers, Boggis, Bunce and Bean (one fat, one short, one lean), to get rid of the wily fox who regularly steals food from their farms. Despite their efforts to do him in by any means possible, the hapless farmers are outwitted at every turn by the Fantastic Mr. Fox, who ultimately devises a plan to ensure full stomachs for his family and friends – all of whom celebrate with a sumptuous feast.
