The wickedly mischievous tale George’s Marvellous Medicine is set to stir up trouble in Dubai

Grandmothers with bad tempers, beware. Roald Dahl’s classic story of powerful potions and grumpy grannies arrives in Dubai. George’s Marvellous Medicine begins with young lad George at the end of his tether as he struggles to deal with his cantankerous grandmother. To solve the problem he creates a concoction of household ingredients like toothpaste, lipstick and shoe polish to take her down a peg or two. But things don’t go quite to plan and his medicine only makes Grandma bigger than a house. Find out if George can sort out his mess this month at Ductac. November 17
