About the Play
When the worlds of bears and people collide, everyone learns that girls and bears aren’t as ferocious as they may seem in Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Award-winning writers, George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins, The Three Little Pigs), inject a bear-sized helping of music and mayhem into this classic fairytale, making it “just right” for the entire family.
Goldilocks, on a trip into the forest, ventures into a seemingly uninhabited house. In the process of making herself feel at home, she turns the place into a gigantic mess! Little does she know that the house belongs to a family of three bears… who will not be too pleased to witness her handiwork.
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is coming to the National Theatre in July 2025.
From the producer of critically acclaimed musical theatre hits including
"The Boy from Oz", "Freaky Friday" and "The Sound of Music"

A girl returns home from a night out, muscles aching from dancing. A boy she has never seen before sits in her flat, awaiting her return. Assuming the worst, the girl takes a frying pan to the boy’s temple, and when he claims he has been banished from Neverland by Peter Pan, the girl thinks the boy is crazy, high or both. That is until his story begins tugging on a memory she thought she had forgotten…
Drawing on JM Barrie’s mythological tale, Flit is a new work that “caresses the tumultuous”, and “possesses a raw, mesmerising quality” (Arts Hub). It is a drug induced psychosis; a scathed daydream; the remnants of shattered childhood innocence. Directed in a mode that is “stylish, energetic and exciting” (Theatrepeople), Flit occurs entirely in one room, riddled with degenerate nostalgia and pulsating with the kind of intimacy evoked by the most pathological of human tendencies. Flit will leave you feeling like you’ve seen it before – but can’t remember where.
