Event information

Welcome to our inaugural, Bute Arts Society, Summer Outdoor Theatre event especially for families and made possible thanks to the support of the Rothesay Common Good Fund, administered by Argyll & Bute Council.

This funny, much-loved and exciting family adventure for Theatre Illyria is back from their 2018 hit production. When Dr John Dolittle of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh is taught by his wise old parrot Polynesia how to talk to animals, news of his skills spreads far and wide. Soon animals across the world send messages asking for his help. So he buys a leaky old ship and, together with his trusty pet-crew of Jip the dog, Chee-Chee the monkey, Dab-Dab the Duck and permanently hungry Gub-Gub the pig, sets forth on a mission to heal illness, spread compassion and gain a greater understanding of the animal kingdom.

TICKETS: when purchasing an Adult Ticket you may purchase up to a maximum of 2 Childrens' Tickets Free of Charge.
Children attend Free thanks to the support of the D'Oyly Carte Trust.

RUNNING TIME: (approx): 1hr 50mins (inc 20 minute interval)
Suitable for ages 5+ (younger children also welcome!)

PLEASE NOTE: this performance is now INDOORS in the Main Hall of Rothesay Joint Campus. You are welcome to bring your Picnic along with non-alcoholic refreshments.
