The award winning local theatre group is staging Matilda Jr with a fantastic cast of young performers aged 8 to 13.

This is a new version of the hit show from the West End designed specifically to be performed by a younger age group, and contains popular songs including 'Naughty,' 'When I Grow Up' and 'Revolting Children.'

Andy Aldcroft, one of the creative team from Odyssey, said: "It's brilliant to be working with these kids again, and be back on the stage. They are a hugely talented group, and it's going to be an amazing show."

Performances are Friday February 25, at 7.30pm and Saturday February 26, 2.30pm and 7.30pm. For more information see their website here: https://www.odysseytheatre.co.uk/Tickets are still available for purchase at www.ticketsource.co.uk/odyssey.
