Step inside the magical world of Willy Wonka’s extraordinary Chocolate Factory in Peterbrook Players’ enchanting production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Based on Roald Dahl’s timeless story (with book by David Greig, music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics by Shaiman and Scott Wittman) and packed with heart, humour, and unforgettable music, this dazzling show is a treat for audiences of all ages.
Charlie Bucket is a kind, imaginative young boy who lives in poverty with his loving family. When the mysterious and reclusive chocolate maker Willy Wonka announces a contest to find five lucky children to tour his magical factory, Charlie’s dreams seem out of reach. But when he miraculously finds a golden ticket, his life changes forever.
Charlie embarks on an unforgettable journey alongside four other ticket winners – each with their own larger-than-life personality. Inside the factory, they encounter edible landscapes, nut-sorting squirrels, and the unforgettable Oompa-Loompas, all under the watchful eye of the eccentric and unpredictable Mr. Wonka.
As the tour unfolds, the other children fall victim to their own bad behaviour - gluttony, greed, pride, and more - leaving only Charlie to prove that honesty and kindness are the true keys to success. With dazzling stagecraft, beloved characters, and toe-tapping songs including “Pure Imagination”, “The Candy Man”, and “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket”, this is a theatrical spectacle bursting with colour, creativity, and joy.
Will Charlie make it to the end and unlock the factory’s greatest secret? Join us to find out. Delightful for children, nostalgic for adults – grab your golden ticket today!
