THE THREE LITTLE PIGS 


  • Country Child Ltd UK (map)

Stuff and Nonsense Theatre Company present a joyful, family-friendly retelling of THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, which plays Lighthouse this Christmas from Tuesday 5 to Sunday 24 December 


Developed in collaboration with young minds, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS has been co-written by nine children and presents a unique physical production that features raucous puppets and original music, that will captivate the whole family. Leaders in family theatre, Stuff and Nonsense present an unmissable show that holds children’s curiosity and family connection at the heart of the story.  


After tricking the unsuspecting wolf onto a bus, the three little pigs are on the run and in search of help from audiences across the country. With the need to build a strong shelter, these problem-solving pigs call upon the audience to help them outrun and outsmart their unwitting pursuer.  


This classic tale has been reimagined with the children’s ideas and playfulness at the heart of the story. The young co-writers have worked alongside the team in creating and rehearsing the show as true collaborators. This included attending rehearsals as well as a day at The National Theatre studios in August, as part of National Theatre's Generate programme.  


Whilst the Company regularly delivers workshops for schools and works with children as part of their creation process, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS is an extension of this way of working that has involved children’s input from beginning to end. Working with schools in Plymouth, Bridport and Poole, three children from each school were selected to work closely with the Stuff and Nonsense team on this show.
