The production will take place from 4-27 March 2021 and will be directed by Rose Associate Artist, Melly Still.

The venue is now open to the public for socially distanced performances, with its Christmas production of Stick Man running from 10 December - 3 January 2021.

April’s programme will open with a musical adaptation of Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks’ What The Ladybird Heard from 2-11 April, prior to Horrible Histories: The Best of Barmy Britain running from 13-18 April.

Rose Theatre Artistic Director Christopher Haydon said: "Following what has been a very tough year for everyone, I am so pleased that we are able to push forward with our spring 2021 shows, particularly the staging of our first Rose Original production since December 2019.

"The whole team at the Rose has done extraordinary work bringing everything together in what has undoubtedly been the most challenging year in the theatre’s history.

"It’s an absolute pleasure to have Melly back working with the Rose on what promises to be a majestically exciting interpretation of Colin’s beautiful script."
