Zog has wonderful, witty songs by acclaimed singer, pianist and songwriter Joe Stilgoe. It was created in 2020 to major acclaim before theatres closed. The show was remounted in the summer of 2021 and toured throughout the UK in 2023.
Zog will return in 2026.
The sequel, Zog and The Flying Doctors with music and lyrics by Joe Stilgoe is co-directed by Katie Beard and Bobby Delaney. The show is designed by Lucy Bradridge and Lighting Design by Ric Mountjoy.
