Birmingham Stage Company, the acclaimed producers of Horrible Histories, are bringing their West End production of David Walliams’ Gangsta Granny to The Courtyard from Tuesday, May 8 to Saturday, May 12.

Walliams, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent and co-creator of the ground-breaking comedy series Little Britain, is now the best-selling children's author in the country. David began his publishing career at Harper Collins in early 2008 with his debut novel The Boy in the Dress. Then, after writing two other popular stories, in 2011 he published Gangsta Granny, which was shortlisted for both The Red House Children’s Book Award and for the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

Gangsta Granny is the story of Ben and his grandmother. It’s Friday night and Ben knows that means only one thing – staying with Granny! There will be cabbage soup, cabbage pie and cabbage cake and Ben knows one thing for sure – it’s going to be sooooooooo boring! But what Ben doesn’t know is that Granny has a secret – and Friday nights are about to get more exciting than he could ever imagine, as he embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with his very own Gangsta Granny!

Gangsta Granny is a must for all families as the show will be enjoyed by everyone from 5 to 105! It’s both laugh-out-loud funny and thrilling but also has some moving and truthful things to say about family relationships.

Gangsta Granny will be at The Courtyard from May 8 to 12. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk.
