Freckle Productions and The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh presents

The Baddies

Live on Stage

based on the book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler

music & lyrics by Joe Stilgoe

They're funny... they're silly... and they're really, really BAD!

‘We are the very worst baddies in the world,
Don't you dare to come too close,
To a witch, a troll and an ancient ghost’

The Baddies love being bad. They roar, spook and cast spells to try and scare a little girl… but will they succeed? Or perhaps the girl is braver than they think…

With songs by Joe Stilgoe (Zog and Zog and the Flying Doctors), The Baddies is a wickedly hilarious adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s smash-hit story.

All ages welcome!
