The Borrowers

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Based on Mary Norton's beloved adventure novels, THE BORROWERS follows the fortunes of the tiny Clock Family. The Clocks live secretly in the walls and floors of a country house and “borrow” from the big people in order to survive. Their lives are plunged into chaos one day when the family's youngest member, independent 11-year-old Arrietty, is seen by a 'human bean', a boy who is visiting the house. To survive, the Clocks must spread their wings and take a perilous and adventure-filled journey into the outside world to find a new home and search out their long-lost family members.
