Illyria present ‘Adventures of Dr Dolittle’

27th July 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Illyria present ‘Adventures of Dr Dolittle’ at Lacock Abbey

On Lacock’s beautiful South Lawn, Illyria will bring to life Hugh Lofting’s ‘The Adventures of Dr Dolittle’. A funny, much-loved and exciting adventure, with a strong message about responsibility towards animals and the environment.

Dr John Dolittle of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh starts out as a human doctor. But once he is taught by his wise old parrot Polynesia how to talk to animals he becomes the most celebrated veterinary doctor in England. Word of his skills spreads and animals across the world send messages asking for his help. So he buys a leaky old ship and, together with his trusty pet-crew, sets forth on a mission to heal illness, right wrongs and gain a greater understanding of the animal kingdom.
