Babe, The Sheep Pig

By David Wood and Dick King Smith 

"Babe is the story we all need and deserve in these trying times. Babe's journey from a nervous outsider to realising her life's goal of becoming a sheep pig is a familiar one. Our production brings the story into a contemporary world, using an original score and choreography to work around the challenges facing us as makers. Drawing from our MT and Acting students' collective skills has been a joy. Babe reminds us not to judge a book by its cover, and that when the goes gets tough we need each other: no pig is an island."  Chloe France, Director

This production has been rehearsed and performed in Covid-safe conditions and according to Covid-safe regulations.

This production is a collaboration between the graduating students in GSA’s Master of Fine Arts (MFA) programmes in Acting, and in Musical Theatre, and as such it breaks new ground.  At the heart of the process is another exciting new collaboration, between director Chloe France and musical director/composer Ed Zanders.  In the most challenging and isolating times any of us can remember, creative collaborations of this kind remind us that the theatre will continue to find ways to connect us, to share great stories, and to foster joy. 

This recorded live production features the final year students of the MFA Acting and MFA Musical Theatre programmes in collaboration with students on the BA (Hons) Theatre Production programme. Please scroll down for headshots and Spotlight links.
