For the third summer in a row the amazing Illyria are back at West Town Farm to perform another terrific children's classic!

Their production of The Twits in 2012 sold out, Babe The Sheep-Pig charmed the audience in 2013 and now they're back with Roald Dahl's most glorious classic "George's Marvellous Medicine".

It's the first day of half-term, Grandma has written to say she is coming to stay, and George is going to have to give up his bedroom for her. It wouldn't be so bad if Grandma were a nice Grandma. But George's Grandma is horrible. "George do this!" "George do that!" "George is it time for my medicine?" What's the point of taking medicine, George wonders, when it's clearly not doing her any good, and it certainly isn't making her any nicer? So George decides to concoct his own medicine which he gives to Grandma on a spoon - with hilarious results!

Illyria's performances are full of (sometimes literally) larger-than-life characters, plenty to join in with, and just a twist of malicious fun! It's guaranteed to send you through the roof!

Running time (approx): 1hr 35mins (including 20 minute interval)

Suitable for ages 5+

Ticket prices are £12 an adult, £7 for a child (18 and under) or £35 for two adults and two children

The production will take place in the barn, which is open to the elements, and the majority of the seating is straw bales, so for your own comfort dress appropriately and maybe bring a blanket to sit on.
