The Cat in the Hat

Katie Mitchell's 2009 National Theatre adaptation of Dr Seuss's rhyming kids' classic The Cat in the Hat is full of wit, silliness, and arty flourishes, with ingenious designs by David Shields that bring the original's scratchy drawings to life. It's been doing the rounds in director Lillie Collier's touring production since 2015, and now it'll swing via Kingston and Walthamstow for the summer as part of a lengthy UK tour. Ages three-plus.
