Audiences will catch a rare glimpse of the biggest toilet paper to ever grace the stage as The Giant's Loo Roll bounces into town next week.

This rip-roaring new musical from TaleGate Theatre Productions, the team behind the hugely popular Father Christmas Needs a Wee, promises to delight and entertain the whole family when it visits Warrington's Parr Hall on Sunday 11 September.

The fabulously funny and brilliantly bouncy adaptation of Nicholas Allan's much-loved book follows the villagers living below the giant's house. They had better watch out because a huge loo roll has gone bouncing down the hill straight towards them!

Luckily, the townsfolk find lots of uses for the runaway toilet paper; one sheet provides a huge canvas for an artist, a tailor uses another to fill her shop with paper pants and a school class makes a huge dart that can fly.

But what about the giant himself: doesn't he need the loo paper? The townspeople have an answer for that too.

In this show, which promises plenty of frightened sheep, excited children and a fantastic amount of toilet paper, TaleGate Theatre Productions has yet again hit the perfect combination of witty humour, fantastic music and the extra sparkle for which the team has become known.

The Giant's Loo Roll bounces into town with a performance at Parr Hall on Sunday 11 September, 2pm. Tickets: £10/£12/£40 family. Parr Hall is located at Palmyra Square South, Warrington, WA1 1BL. Tickets and information, telephone 01925 442345 or visit www.pyramidparrhall.com.

Pyramid & Parr Hall are two of the North West's leading arts and entertainment venues for music, comedy, dance, drama and much more. The venues have played host to big name acts including John Bishop, The Stone Roses, Billy Ocean, Jools Holland and Peter Kay to name a few.

Parr Hall is a listed building and has been a long standing feature of Warrington's cultural scene since its opening in 1895. It is a medium sized concert venue with 1000 seats. Pyramid opened in 2002, with support from Arts Council England and the National Lottery, as an arts centre focusing on smaller performances and community events. It offers a range of spaces to hire for events, weddings and conferences.

The venues are run by Culture Warrington which is a charitable trust that was established in May 2012 to also manage Warrington Museum & Art Gallery and cultural events across the town including Warrington Festival and Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival.
