And a little further ahead, there's another superb family treat due at the Thameside when KD Theatre productions present two performances of the Wizard of Oz.

This spectacular, pantomimic, colourful story is packed with hilarious jokes, dazzling dance routines, glittering scenery and plenty more for all the family!

Join Dorothy at the Thameside on Tuesday, 27 May as she goes on a magical adventure to the Land of Oz. Along the way she makes new friends with the Scarecrow who longs for a brain, the Tin Man who really wants a heart and the very cowardly Lion who is desperate to be brave and have some courage.

Dorothy needs to find her way home, but it's not going to be easy with the Wicked Witch of the West keeping a close eye on her!

Will the Great and Powerful Oz be able to help?
