'The Grumpiest Boy in the World'

Join Paper Balloon for a rehearsed reading of this hilarious piece of new writing by international award-winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer, with original songs by DARREN CLARK (BML composer/ lyricist). Join Zachary Briddling, (allegedly the most normal person that there has ever been) on his journey to discover his own unique gifts.

Catch the piece in its final stage of development before full production and premiere this autumn. We'd love to hear your views, whether theatre professionals, parents, children or people who've never seen any theatre before!

Shows 29th June at 2pm and 4.30pm as part of the RADA Festival 2013. Further details and tickets here http://www.rada.ac.uk/whats-on/rada-festival
