A theatre group brings its tour of a popular Beatrix Potter story to Colchester.

Quantum Theatre and Frederick Warne and Co present a stage adaptation of The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck.

“The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck” was written and illustrated by popular children’s author Beatrix Potter and first published in 1908.

Almost as popular as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, the first of Potter’s Little Books, Jemima’s Story is a warning against venturing into the unknown, with a touch of irony and humor.

Michael Whitmore’s new adaptation is full of songs, action and drama, with a score by Gideon Escott.

The play will be performed at Green Island Gardens in Ardleigh on August 10, from 1.30pm to 3pm with a ten-minute intermission.

Since this is an outdoor production, Quantum Theatre asks guests to bring folding chairs, blankets, a picnic and to dress appropriately for the weather.

Adult tickets cost £16, child tickets £11 and concessions tickets cost £12.

Two family tickets are also available: for two adults and two children for £43 and for two adults and three children for £49.

Colchester is just one of the show’s 18 stops across the country.
