A play by David Wood. Adapted from the book THE SHEEP-PIG by Dick King-Smith.

Presented by Romiley Little Theatre.

This is the tale of high adventure in the farm yard; of humble beginnings and courageous triumphs. This is the story of one piglet’s rise to become the world famous “sheep-pig”.

When Babe is won by Farmer Hoggett at the village fair, an extraordinary friendship develops, one that will change the whole farm.

With the help of his new “mother”, the old dog Fly, Babe fast learns the herding instinct, and it is not long before this most polite of pigs wins over the most suspicious of sheep.

When the day of the Grand Challenge Sheep-Dog Trials dawns, the whole farm holds its breath to see whether Babe will triumph, against all the odds, to become the hero of the hour.

The original book inspired the hugely successful film, BABE.
