It's the half term holiday and George Kranky is looking forward to a break from school when a letter from Grandma arrives announcing that she is coming to stay - that very day!

Soon she is making George's life miserable with spiteful comments and demands for doses of medicine, so George decides to mix a new type of medicine for her ....

Shaving foam, shampoo, lipstick and chilli powder all go into the mixture, which makes Grandma grow and grow into a giant until she crashes through the farmhouse roof

Soon Dad comes up with a plan to use the medicine to make giant farm animals - and a fortune for the Kranky family

But first George needs to remember the ingredients for his marvellous medicine - with a little help from the audience!

"Nasty, naughty fun" ~ The Times

"David Wood's sparkling new adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic gets the ear-splitting, roof-raising response it deserves ... absolutely wicked and not just for the children" ~ Stage
