Debbie Isitt's adaptation of Dodie Smith's The Hundred and One Dalmatians runs at Birmingham Rep this Christmas. Directed by Tessa Walker, the barking adventure follows puppies Pongo and Missis as they do their best to evade Cruella de Vil.

Playing Cruella is Gloria Onitiri, who takes us on a wolf-whistle-stop tour behind the scenes of the production.

The Hundred and One Dalmatians runs at Birmingham Rep until 13 January.
