George's Marvellous Medicine is being performed twice daily at the Palace Theatre in Westcliff.

The show, based on the book by Roald Dahl, tells how naughty George creates a potion to take revenge on his grandma, who grows 20ft tall and then shrinks.

The Birmingham Stage Company will be performing the children's show at 10.30am and 2.30pm up to and including Saturday. Tickets cost £7 to £9.
