Everyone’s favourite cat might be forgetful, but she certainly has a lot of adventures, and she loves her family very much!

Based on Judith Kerr’s beloved and iconic stories for the stage, this lively and enchanting production features songs, live music and a menagerie of creatures little and large.

These timeless tales of family and friendship are brought to life to allow a new generation of children to fall in love with Mog.  

Mog The Forgetful Cat runs at the Old Vic Theatre from 11 July 2023 until 29 July 2023.

Mog is a very forgetful cat. She forgets that she has a cat flap, she forgets that she’s already eaten her supper, and she forgets that cats don’t have eggs for breakfast every day. Bother that cat! But Mog’s forgetfulness can come in handy.

Join Mog and the Thomas family, on a journey through one year in the life of a really remarkable cat, as she catches a burglar, gatecrashes a cat show, goes to the V.E.T. and gets to eat lots and lots of eggs.
