Granny's Game

by Rhubarb Theatre

theatre, children-and-family

Two children discover a most mysterious game – they’ll get more than they bargained for when they start to roll the dice!

about the production

It’s all about travel, adventure and one really surprising grandma! Join Julia and John as they play Granny’s Game, where a trip around the board becomes a globetrotting adventure! Wrestling the snakes and climbing the ladders, our brave players will risk it all in a high-stakes quest they’ll never forget. After the success of last year’s touring show The Amazing Adventures of Librarian Lil, the always imaginative Rhubarb Theatre present a new theatre treat for intrepid adventurers of all ages, based on the inspiring real-life heroism of journalist and explorer Nellie Bly!
