Royal & Derngate Northampton, The Old Vic and The Wardrobe Ensemble to present world premiere of Judith Kerr's MOG THE FORGETFUL CAT

It has been announced that the acclaimed Wardrobe Ensemble will adapt Judith Kerr’s beloved and iconic stories in a first-ever stage adaptation of Mog The Forgetful Cat, running at the Royal & Derngate Northampton from 3-19 June.

Royal & Derngate Artistic Director James Dacre said: “These magical stories, from one of the country’s greatest writers for younger audiences, have delighted generations of children. We’re thrilled to be welcoming back The Wardrobe Ensemble and to be partnering with The Old Vic for the first time to reimagine them for the stage.” 

‘Bother that cat!’

Mog always seems to be in trouble. She forgets that she has a cat flap and she forgets that she has already eaten her supper. But sometimes, Mog’s forgetfulness comes in very handy...

Join Mog, and her people the Thomas family, on a journey through one year in the life of a really remarkable cat, as she catches a burglar, gatecrashes a cat show, goes to the vee-eee-tee and eats lots and lots of eggs. 

This lively and enchanting production, co-produced by Royal and Derngate, The Old Vic and The Wardrobe Ensemble, will be directed by Jesse Jones and Helena Middleton, with composition and musical direction by Joey Hickman, design by Laura McEwan, lighting by Rajiv Pattani and sound by Beth Duke.
