Description

TREMBLE as she faces Matron Stinking Bottomly. THRILL as she discovers the squirrel house and Tanglefields Travelling Circus. GASP as she endures a night locked in the attic. QUAKE as she braves the scary streets of Victorian London and CHEER as she overcomes all in the search to find her real mother and a true family of her own. From bestselling author Jacqueline Wilson, the tale of plucky Hetty Feather is brought thrillingly to life on stage by award-winning script writer Emma Reeves (CBBCs The Story of Tracy Beaker) and the Olivier Award-Nominated director Sally Cookson whose many five-star productions include Peter Pan, Were Going on a Bearhunt and Stick Man. With a huge heart, Hetty Feather is a terrific adventure story! The play sticks to my basic story, but with many inventive touches that constantly took me by surprise [it] was a magical experience. Jacqueline Wilson
