A chance encounter with a magical stranger, a bag filled with mysterious crocodile tongues, and an unexpected accident lead to the creation of the largest peach the world has ever seen.
After climbing aboard the giant fruit, James finds himself surrounded by a rag-tag group of friendly insects.
Director Callum Roberts said: “This is the first time the youth theatre will occupy a full week slot for several years. We have a superb group of young people eager to share their talents with you in this magical and entertaining script. What a fantastic show for all the family to enjoy for the youth theatre’s prolonged outing”.
