What the Ladybird Heard at the Gordon Craig Theatre

What the Ladybird Heard (pictured) is coming to the Gordon Craig Theatre in Stevenage.

The production is based on the book by Julia Donaldson, bestselling author of The Gruffalo, and award winning illustrator, Lydia Monks.

Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len have a cunning plan to steal the farmer’s fine prize cow.

But they reckon without the tiniest, quietest creature of all; the ladybird has a plan of her own!

Join the woolly sheep, the hairy hog, the fat red hen and the dainty dog as they take on the villains and win.

With live instrumental music, original songs, rhyming and repetition, this production is the perfect family treat and the ideal introduction to theatre for preschool and primary school children aged three plus.

What the Ladybird Heard is produced by Kenny Wax, who also produced Top Hat the Musical, in association with Matthew Gregory.

It is directed by Graham Hubbard, whose other works include Sweeney Todd and Priscilla Queen of the Desert.

Lydia Monks is the production’s design consultant.

Catch What the Ladybird Heard from Friday, May 9 to Saturday, May 11.

Performances are at 1.30pm on the Friday and on the Saturday and Sunday at 10.30am and 1.30pm.

Tickets cost £12. They are available from the box office on 01438 363200.
