The Three Little Pigs are at the Baxter this holiday!

By Bushtots

We had an interview with Elton John Duffy who directs the play The Three Little Pigs. It is currently on at the Baxter and will run until Saturday 18 July 2009. This enchanting fairytale will run from Monday to Saturday at 10:30 am.

The play is features three little pigs who leave the farm to live on their own. One wants to be a dancer, another an opera singer and the third wants to be a successful businessman. The big bad wolf pretends to be a travelling salesman in order to get into their homes but has to resort to blowing the houses down. When none of his disguises work, he tries to blow the houses up and ends up blowing himself up.

This play was adapted and directed by Elton John Duffy, who has been working at the Baxter Theatre since 1993. The houses were built by Brian Collins. This production stars Nikki Louw (Percy Pig), Angi Fleetwood (Peter Pig), Stacey Rethman (Patrick Pig), Kathy Henderson (Aunty Joan) and Elton John Duffy (Big Bad Wolf). Choreography is by Nikki Louw. The duration of the show is 45 minutes and is suitable for children aged 2-11 (Crèche to Grade 5) and also for parents and adults who are young at heart.
