Belgrade Theatre run for Awful Auntie production
FAMILIES are being invited to join in the riotous fun when David Walliams’ Awful Auntie comes to Coventry.
Created by the award-winning producers of Gangsta Granny, this new production is the world premiere of David Walliams’ amazing tale of frights, fights and friendship.
Featuring a very large owl, a very small ghost and a very awful Auntie, it comes to Coventry’s Belgrade Theatre on Tuesday February 20.
The production will run until Saturday February 24.
The story follows Stella, who sets off to visit London with her parents, Lord and Lady Saxby.
However, poor Stella has no idea her life is in danger.
Waking up three months later, only her Aunt Alberta can tell Stella what has happened - but not everything Aunt Alberta tells her turns out to be true…
Stella quickly discovers she’s in for the fight of her life against her very own awful Auntie.
