Inspired by the exquisite Ladybird Book, which all parents will remember, Theatre of Widdershins will bring audiences the classic fable using magical puppets, intricate design, original music and the simplest of dialogue.

The truth will be told about unidentified serial killer Jack the Ripper on Thursday for those who fancy something a little less child friendly.
