We present Roald Dahl’s amazing story about a young boy who makes a marvellous new medicine to cure his grandmother of her terrifying temper. But when his grandmother drinks his special new potion, the most incredible things start to happen. And George’s adventure has just begun!

The BSC have toured George world wide for twenty-three years and more recently commissioned David Wood’s fabulous adaptation of one of Roald Dahl’s best loved stories. If you’re looking for fizztickling fun and wizzpopping magic for all the family, then don’t miss George and his marvellous medicine!

Reviews

"Phil Clark's production revels in Dahl's anarchic vision and its own furious energy. David Wood's adaptation gradually makes the young audience deliciously complicit in George's outrageous experiment. This is a very nicely put together affair that celebrates the anarchy of Dahl with great gusto and a naughty sense of fun"
The Guardian
"The BSC’s adaptation of George's Marvellous Medicine is cacophonically good fun. An exceptionally pungent and effective piece of kids theatre. It's a riot!"
Time Out
"Staged in a beautiful farmhouse set, with impressive puppets, amazing special effects and truly magic tricks up its sleeve, George’s Marvellous Medicine perfectly demonstrates that children’s theatre is very rarely as simple as one might expect. A wickedly mischievous tale!"
Society of London Theatre Reviews
"An extremely entertaining evening. I was genuinely impressed by the whole performance, as were the children who declared it to be “the coolest show ever""
Bristol Evening Post
"It would be very difficult to find a trip to the theatre as fun as this one. The production is superbly staged!"
Jersey Post
"As evenings at the theatre go, you’ll be hard-pushed to find anything more entertaining than this fabulous family fun!"
Cambridge News
"You’ll love this excellent production that had us hooked from the minute we took our seats. Never have I seen so many children so enthralled!"
