Stan the dog and Mabel the cat are troubled by the treatment of all the animals in their city. After being captured and thrown into the School for Wild and Dangerous Animals and then forced into jobs, Stan, Mabel and their animal friends embark on an epic escape! Will they find a safe place to call their home?
Presented by Polly Ives and conducted by Nefeli Chadouli, this lively, interactive story with music by Paul Rissmann and words and illustrations by Jason Chapman will delight Key Stage 1 audiences. With other orchestral treats to enjoy and lots of ways to join in, it’s sure to be an unforgettable first concert experience!
