Synopsis

From the Children’s Theatre Company who brought you 2009’s sold-out hit, Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr Fox, Players Theatre is pleased to be bringing to the stage, especially for you: Charlotte's Web.

Players Theatre’s production of Charlotte’s Web is based on E.B. White’s Newbery Honor book, which was awarded the title "Best American children's book of the past two hundred years" by the Children's Literature Association. 

Charlotte’s Web is a loving story about true friendship, bravery and selfless love. Wilbur the irresistible pig strikes up an inspired friendship with the extraordinary spider, Charlotte. When the young Wilbur finds out that he’s destined to become bacon for breakfast, Charlotte begins her campaign to save his life. She puts her fine writing to good use and comes up with a ‘miracle’ of a plan to fool Farmer Zuckerman. Charlotte spins the words “Some Pig” in her web, weaving a solution which not only saves Wilbur’s life, but turns him into a star - the farm’s prize pig. Charlotte’s sacrifice has a happy ending which will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eyes. 

This treasured tale has everything: a courageous act, miracles, endearing characters and lessons on friendship, trust and love. Don’t miss it!
