The Smeds and The Smoos

The Gruffalo is hanging up its hat for a new Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler stage adaptation, The Smeds and The Smoos, which will take Hongkongers on a ride to outer space. Imagine a child-friendly intergalactic Romeo and Juliet and you’ll hit on the basic premise of the award-winning book, which will be brought to life as part of ABA Productions’ Hong Kong KidsFest, a month-long arts festival full of theatre productions for the whole family. This show runs from 24 until 26 January.
