THE 91-STOREY TREEHOUSE

A play by Richard Tulloch
Adapted from the book by Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton

But Andy, Terry and Jill have no idea they're about to face their biggest challenge ever! Mr Big Nose has sent his grandchildren to the Treehouse, and they don't want to just sit quietly. Can Andy, Terry & Jill master this extreme babysitting challenge? What does mysterious fortune teller Madam Know-It-All really want? And will the Big Red Button really destroy the world?

The team behind the 13-, 26-, 52- and 78-Storey Treehouses Live on Stage return with a fantastical trip through this wild, weird and wonderful world for children 6-12 and their adults. Just beware of the Fortune Teller…
