Outdoor theatre: Doctor Dolittle
Illyria is back! This summer, the award-winning company presents Doctor Dolittle, a timeless classic for the whole family. Pack a picnic and a chair or blanket, and come along to a magical evening of entertainment.
- Booking essential
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.
Pack a picnic as Illyria swoops in with another unforgettable season of outdoor theatre. Visit illyria. co.uk to find out more.
