Our production of Ruby’s Worry toured between 31 January 2026 and 8 March 26.
“Ruby tries and tries to get rid of her worry, which grows bigger and bigger! Eventually she meets a
boy who has a worry too. Together they discover that everyone has worries, and that if you talk about
them, they never hang around for long!”
Ruby’s Worry took audiences on a delightful musical adventure, told through live music, song, puppetry and physical theatre,
Based on the book Ruby’s Worry, written and illustrated by Tom Percival and published by Bloomsbury. The show was delivered to audiences of children aged 3 – 7 years and their families/schools.
The production was shortlisted in the Excellence in Primary/Early Years (Music and Drama) category in the Music and Drama in Education Awards 2025.
