The event has passed.

Doctor Dolittle leads a simple life as the village doctor in sleepy Puddleby-On-The-Marsh. He often undercharges his patients, or even treats them for free, so he is terribly poor. But one day, with the help of his wise old parrot Polynesia, he makes an extraordinary discovery: that he can talk to animals. As news of his talent as an animal doctor spreads, animals across the world send messages asking for his help.

 

So he borrows a leaky old ship and embarks on a thrilling quest to cure illness, spread kindness, and better understand animals everywhere. He is joined on his adventures by a loyal animal crew: Jip (a dog), Chee-Chee (a monkey), Dab Dab (a duck), and Gub Gub (an ever-hungry, cake-loving pig) –who together may even help him fix his money problems once and for all!

Hugh Lofting’s timeless classic celebrates the power of empathy and inspires audiences young and old to see the world through the eyes of animals.

This funny, exciting family musical will be performed with flair and wit by Illyria in the great outdoors here at Crawick Multiverse on Tuesday 16th July. The performance will begin at 6pm. Gates will be open from 4pm to allow those attending Dr Dolittle to explore Crawick Multiverse before the show starts (no additional charge).

Running time (approx): 110-minutes (including a 20-minute interval). Suitable for ages 5+ (younger children also welcome).
