Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox is family fun at its finest. A major new musical version of this enchanting classic comes to the New Theatre, Cardiff from 21 – 25 February, making it the perfect half-term treat. |
Following hot on the heels of Cardiff’s sensational celebrations for the centenary of the world’s number one storyteller, this brand new family show is a playful re-telling of Roald Dahl’s much-loved book. It’s a fast-paced and fun tale brought to life with charming, colourful costumes; a spectacular set and wonderfully witty songs and music. Boggis, Bunce and Bean, three greedy, smelly, horrid farmers hate the cunning Mr Fox. Mr Fox is smart, clever and rather fantastic, but he doesn't realise how determined the farmers are to get revenge. Can he hatch a plan to save his family and friends? Can they outrun the diggers and outsmart the farmers? And can Rabbit shut up long enough not to give the game away? First published in 1970, Fantastic Mr Fox remains a firm favourite amongst Roald Dahl fans of all ages. The story of Mr Fox and his heroic adventures became a global sensation following the popular success of Wes Anderson’s Oscar-nominated movie version (released in 2009), which starred George Clooney in the title role. This new commission by Nuffield and Curve in association with Lyric Hammersmith brings together a stellar creative team: playwright Sam Holcroft, director Maria Aberg, designer Tom Scutt, composer Arthur Darvill and lyricists Darren Clark, Arthur Darvill, Sam Holcroft and Al Muriel. This new musical adaptation of Fantastic Mr Fox is a flagship production for the Roald Dahl 100 celebrations.

Mae sioe gerdd newydd yn seiliedig ar y clasur hudolus hwn yn dod i’r Theatr Newydd, Caerdydd o 21 i 25 Chwefror - perffaith ar gyfer hanner tymor. Yn dilyn dathliadau canmlwyddiant rhyfeddol Caerdydd o storïwr gorau’r byd, mae’r sioe deuluol newydd hon, yn seiliedig ar lyfr poblogaidd Roald Dahl, yn siŵr o ddiddanu. Mae’n stori gyflym a hwyliog sy’n dod yn fyw gyda gwisgoedd lliwgar; set drawiadol a chaneuon a cherddoriaeth fachog a doniol. Mae Boggis, Bunce a Bean, tri ffarmwr drewllyd, erchyll, yn casáu’r cyfrwys Mr Fox. Mae Mr Fox yn ddoeth, clyfar ac, yn wir, ffantastig, ond nid yw'n sylweddoli pa mor benderfynol y mae’r ffermwyr o ddial arno. A all ddyfeisio cynllun i achub ei deulu a'i ffrindiau? Allan nhw symud yn gyflymach na’r peiriannau palu a bod yn fwy cyfrwys na’r ffermwyr? Ac a all Rabbit gau ei cheg yn ddigon hir i beidio sbwylio popeth? Mae Fantastic Mr Fox, a gyhoeddwyd gyntaf ym 1970, yn un o ffefrynnau ffans Dahl. Daeth y stori am anturiaethau arwrol Mr Fox yn boblogaidd ledled y byd yn dilyn fersiwn ffilm lwyddiannus Wes Anderson (a ryddhawyd yn 2009), a enwebwyd am Oscar, gyda George Clooney yn y brif rôl. Mae’r comisiwn newydd hwn gan Nuffield a Curve mewn cydweithrediad â Lyric Hammersmith yn dod â thîm o sêr creadigol ynghyd: y dramodydd Sam Holcroft, y cyfarwyddwr Maria Aberg, y dylunydd Tom Scutt, y cyfansoddwr Arthur Darvill a’r telynegwyr Darren Clark, Arthur Darvill, Sam Holcroft ac Al Muriel.
