Later this month families can check out performances of David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny from 28 to 31 July.

The Walliams-penned play follows Ben on a typical visit to his granny’s house to receive cabbage soup and cabbage cake.

Little does Ben know is that Granny has a secret – and Friday nights are about to get more exciting than he could ever imagine.
