About

Following the success of 2023’s production of Robin Hood, we are delighted to be welcoming back award winning theatre company Illyria for their exciting outdoor production of Dr Doolittle.

This family favourite follows the story of Dr John Dolittle, who is taught by his wise old parrot Polynesia how to talk to animals - news of his skills spreads far and wide.

Soon animals across the world send messages asking for his help.

Together with his trusty pet-crew of Jip the dog, Chee-Chee the monkey, Dab-Dab the Duck and permanently hungry Gub-Gub the pig, Dr Doolittle sets forth on a mission to heal illness, spread compassion and gain a greater understanding of the animal kingdom.

A unique night out for all the family, watching amazing theatre, under the sky, surrounded by the nature of the London Wetland Centre.

Date: 14 June

Time: Gates open at 6pm for a 7pm start - running time approx. 1hr 50mins (incl 20min interval)
