Event details
What starts as just another boring day for George quickly turns into a marvellous experiment of epic proportions!
On a good day, George can’t stand his Grandma. She complains all the time, she’s mean, and she smells funny. On this day, Grandma is much more annoying than usual – and George has had enough.
From the Director of Shake & Stir’s Dahl adaptations comes this brand-new, in-school production overflowing with mischief, magic and mammoth LOLs.
Just remember – do not try this at home!
