Charlotte's Web

Riccarton Players Presents: CHARLOTTE’S WEB for the July School Holidays.

A charming and delightful play for young people, adapted from the book by E. B. White by Tony award-winning playwright Joseph Robinette.

Charlotte’s Web is one of the top 20 children’s bestselling books of all time. The New York Times called it “just about perfect, and just about magical in the way it is done.” Robinette’s touching and faithful stage version will make audiences believe this beloved book is coming to life on the stage.

All the wonderfully endearing characters are here – Wilbur, the irresistible young pig; Fern, a girl who understands animal ‘speak’; Templeton, the rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; all our farmyard friends; and most of all – the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, weaving magic in her web. A beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will leave audiences delighted and enchanted, this production is a traditional re-telling of this wonderful children’s classic.

Give your young ones a taste of the adventure with live theatre these holidays, with fine storytelling and heart-warming performances.

We look forward to seeing you there!
