GEORGE'S MARVELLOUS MEDICINE TOUR
Birmingham Stage Company present Roald Dahl's George’s Marvellous Medicine which is an amazing story about a young boy who makes a marvellous new medicine to cure his grandmother of her terrifying temper. Shampoo, shoe polish, flea powder, engine oil - in it all goes and George speculates with relish as to what will happen when Grandma takes a sip. "Will she go pop? Will she explode? Will she go flying up the road?"
When his grandmother drinks his special new potion she levitates, bursts into flame and grows into a giant, head and shoulders shooting through the farm roof and the most incredible things start to happen. Dad quickly realises that if he can use George's concoction on his animals and transform the struggling farm's fortunes, it might just turn out to be liquid gold.
Phil Clark's staging, designed by Jacqueline Trousdale, with puppetry by Roman Stefanski, enters into the quirky, fantasy world. In the higgledy-piggledy farmhouse, Mum can be seen milking a cow through the rear of the colourful kitchen.
George is played by Clark Devlin, Grandma is Erika Poole, Mum (Alison Fitzjohn), Dad (Thomas Woodman) and Jason O’Brien plays the Chicken.
