EmailThis phenomenally successful show tells the story of a little girl armed with an amazing imagination and a love of books.

Her classmates join the rebellion and everything quickly descends into anarchy. The children are revolting, and it's time to teach the grown-ups a lesson!

Claiure How old does a child have to be to see this show? (reply)
Staff The official advice on their website is as follows: "We suggest age 6+, but younger guests are welcome. The show is quite long, quite loud in parts, and can be quite scary. Children need to occupy their own seats at all times throughout the performance. Babes in arms are not permitted.". (reply)
