2020 Junior Tall Poppies Production - Mr Benn

First seen on television on 25 February 1971, Mr Benn lived at 52 Festive Road, London, and was the ultimate Mr Nice Guy in a bowler hat.

In the Tall Poppies production, Mr Benn and his assistant, Mr Pen, now own the mysterious costume shop and the play is centred around Miss Celia Apple – a school-teacher. Mr Pen and Mr Benn have a cat, Whiskers, who causes Celia many problems in her adventures through the “changing room door”.

Celia goes into an Axis Legends video game, onto a magnificent film-set filled with high-status characters and into an alleyway of gang cats.
