Lyric Theatre to welcome The Smeds and The Smoos

The Smeds and The Smoos, a stage adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s book, will arrive in London’s West End this summer.

Produced by Tall Stories, the show will run at the Lyric Theatre from July 20 – September 3 following its UK tour.

Featuring music, laughs, puppetry and interplanetary adventures for theatregoers aged three and above, The Smeds and The Smoos tells the story of two rival groups of aliens living on a far-off planet: the Smeds (who are red) and the Smoos (who are blue).

The two groups mistrust each other, and the children are told to never play with one another. So, when a young Smed and Smoo fall in love and zoom off into space together, how will their families get them back?

Directed by Tall Stories’ co-founder Toby Mitchell, the cast will include Felicia Akin-Tayo, Tom Capper, Robert Penny, Andrea Sadler and understudy Grace Liston.
