Bike Shed Theatre, Exeter

Granny Eyeball doesn’t like people. Generally speaking, people don’t like her back.

(Actually, they’re not too keen on her front, sides or top either... and definitely not her bottom!)

Locked away in a ramshackle farmhouse on the outskirts of Ballskirk Joanna Gormley dreams of a better life, free from the clutches of her wicked guardian - the dreaded Granny Eyeball.

Wandering Tiger presents a riotous, anarchic show that is guaranteed to appeal to the whole family, complete with singing dinner ladies and white knuckle car chases.
