Illyria delivers yet another superb outdoor theatre performance of Babe the Sheep-Pig by Dick King Smith (adapted by David Wood).  Farmer Hoggett wins a piglet at the fair - and everyone knows what fate awaits piglets raised on a farm. Adopted by Fly the sheepdog, Babe develops his own methods of herding sheep using politeness instead of barking orders, and even saves the flock from being stolen by sheep rustlers. But Farmer Hoggett is a hard man to please - so when Babe is entered for the county sheep dog trials he is going to need Fly's help, all his wits and as much politeness as he can muster if he is going to get the sheep to co-operate, win the trials and save his life.
