"We’ve worked with cultural, religious and heritage groups, as well as the wonderful school children of Bedford, to produce a fun experience that everyone can enjoy.”

Bedford actor Gary Tatham will also be joining the cast as the show tours primary schools next month.

Harriet Hardie, creative director at Full House Theatre, added: “It’s so important that local talent has an opportunity to shine in Bedford. That’s why we wanted to work with Gary so much on this show – he brings an authenticity to the role that only a resident Bedfordian could."

The performance has been created in partnership with The Higgins and has been funded by Bedford Borough Youth Empowerment Fund.
