Belgrade Theatre to Welcome World Premiere Stage Production of GANGSTA GRANNY

Curious kids from across Coventry and Warwickshire can look forward to a bumper programme of family-friendly activities taking place this February half term at the Belgrade Theatre.

Kicking off the festivities from Tues 16 - Sat 20 Feb, the Belgrade Theatre is thrilled to welcome back The Birmingham Stage Company in the world-stage premiere of David Walliams' best-selling novel, Gangsta Granny.

It's Friday night and Ben knows that means only one thing - staying with granny! There will be cabbage soup, cabbage pie and cabbage cake and Ben knows one thing for sure - it's going to be sooooooooo boring! But what Ben doesn't know is that granny has a secret - and Friday nights are about to get more exciting than he could ever imagine, as he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with his very own Gangsta Granny!

To coincide with the opening of Gangsta Granny in the Main Auditorium, the Belgrade Theatre will be opening its doors to curious kids and their families for another fun-filled afternoon of interactive drama games, free activities, storytelling and crafts between 10am - 4pm on Tues 16th February for the return of the theatre's popular Family Day For Curious Kids.

Get creative with free craft sessions in the Burbidge Gallery including mask-making mischief with Gangsta Granny and Pongo The Pig, farmyard finger puppets with Marty McDonald, odorous underwear paper craft, create-your-own crown jewels and 'walk-like-a-giant' workshops taking place throughout the afternoon.

Visitors can also look forward to free face painting inspired by the Belgrade's 2016 panto, Dick Whittington, plus, audiences are invited to get to grips with the Belgrade's hidden spaces with our Family Treasure Trail.
