Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves: outdoor children’s theatre

Perfect summer fun for thieves and vagabonds aged 5+ and their families.
Now in their 28th season, Illyria was the first company to tour children’s theatre on this scale in the open-air touring sector. Join us with picnics and rugs and space to stretch out with the kids to see young Ali Baba as he stumbles across an enchanted cave when he overhears the magic words that open it: “Open Sesame!”.

Inside the cave he finds untold amounts of gold and jewels..can he keep the secret from his jealous brother? And when the Robber King comes looking for the missing treasure supported by an army of 40 angry thieves – will he and his family survive?

The show is notable for a scene where one character polishes off most of the thieves – 37 to be precise, and you can count each one – with a cast of just five of the most hardworking actors in the business!

There’s lots and lots to join in with – and the most magical cave you’ve ever seen!
