One little ladybird will be embarking on a big adventure this Easter as Kenny Wax Family bring their colourful new production of What the Ladybird Heard to the Belgrade Theatre.
Acting as a Design Consultant on What the Ladybird Heard Live is my first experience of theatre design, and I was thrilled to be asked by Kenny Wax to be involved.

To mark the launch of the third installment of What the Ladybird Heard, What the Ladybird Heard On Holiday, and the West End debut of the stage adaptation of the first book, author Julia Donaldson and illustrator Lydia Monks took to the streets in a ladybird taxicab, to celebrate the event. Check out photos below!
