Charlotte's Web
The Lieder Theatre
The Lieder Theatre Company is proud to present Charlotte's Web, based on the beloved tale by E.B. White. Set in a nostalgic farmyard world, an orphaned pig named Wilbur becomes frightfully aware of the fate that awaits him until an unexpected friendship with an enlightened grey spider changes everything. Charlotte's supportive influence on the direction of Wilbur's life is indeed magical, yet achievable in the real world. It gives audiences wonderful thoughts to ponder as they emerge from this rollicking theatre experience. Charlotte's Webb will play at the Lieder Theatre on Goldsmith Street, Goulburn on Wednesday, November 30 between7pm and 9.30pm. For tickets phone 4821 5066 or email liedertheatre@gmail.com.
