School performances are on Thursday 10 and Friday 11 November at 10.30am. Tickets are £11.50 and free for teachers on duty and a school can claim back the VAT reducing the tickets to £9.58. Our theatre staff are here to make your visit as easy and stress free as possible! It’s Friday night and Ben knows that means only one thing – staying with Granny! With cabbage soup, cabbage pie and cabbage cake to eat and Ben knows one thing for sure – it’s going to be so 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 possibly imagine, as he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with his very own Gangsta Granny! The show follows Birmingham Stage Company’s hugely popular shows Horrible Histories, Tom’s Midnight Garden and James and the Giant Peach.
