I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. There are two entrances to the theatre, Kings Road Entrance (this is the taxi drop-off/collection point) and the Main Entrance. Before Malcolm and I had our three sons we used to go busking together and I would write special songs for each country; the best one was in Italian about pasta.

Following on from What the Ladybird Heard and The Rhyming Rabbit, Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks have teamed up for another engaging picture book, this time about a mermaid with an exceptional singing voice. I like prose stories, rhyme stories for children like this one was very enjoyable. I bought this as a Christmas present for my 5yr old little boy who put it as one of his main things for Christmas. Though the one we got didn't have a free T-shirt, it had an audio disc instead, he loves audio books. I also continued to write “grown-up” songs and perform them in folk clubs and on the radio, and have recently released two CDs of these songs. The animals on the farm are always noisy, all except for the ladybird who never says a word. But when burglars plot to steal the farmer's fine prize cow, the ladybird has a plan... My real breakthrough was THE GRUFFALO, again illustrated by Axel. We work separately - he’s in London and I’m in Glasgow - but he sends me letters with lovely funny pictures on the envelopes.Please note: we strongly encourage taking lateral flow tests prior to attending. While masks are no longer mandatory, we highly recommend wearing one when visiting our venues. Brings the world illustrated by Lydia Monks to gloriously barmy life ….It’s a lovely piece of theatre that’ll leave its target audience (ages 3-8) in a trance, while possessing enough loopy visual brio to ensure attendant adults have a swimming time too.’ ★★★★ Time Out I studied Drama and French at Bristol University, where I met Malcolm, a guitar-playing medic to whom I’m now married. I grew up in a tall Victorian London house with my parents, grandmother, aunt, uncle, younger sister Mary and cat Geoffrey (who was really a prince in disguise. Mary and I would argue about which of us would marry him). As entertainment for very young children, musical shows don’t get much better than this.’ ★★★★ Musical Theatre Review
