A NEW play for children, My Pet Monster and Me, will be staged at the Georgian Theatre Royal, in Richmond.

It is about a little girl called Sophie Bucket, who lives on a farm and spends her time day-dreaming and wishing for a friend to share her adventures. One day, she finds an egg, keeps it warm, and out pops a baby monster.

The show sees a return to the Georgian by the Blunderbus Theatre Company, established in 1998, which creates enchanting theatrical experiences for children and their families and tours throughout the UK and abroad.

The performance is on Saturday, October 3. Contact the box office on 01748 825 252 or visit georgiantheatreroyal.co.uk.
