What's on in Watford and Hertfordshire this weekend, 14th and 15th March, 2020

Zog

Large in size, and keen in nature, Zog is eager to win a golden star at Madam Dragon’s school, where dragons learn all the things that dragons need to know. Zog tries so very hard, perhaps too hard, and he bumps, burns and roars his way through years one, two and three. Luckily, the plucky Princess Pearl patches him up ready to face his biggest challenge yet: a duel with knight, Sir Gadabout the Great. The smash-hit stage adaptation from Freckle Productions is back and promises to be bigger, brighter and more roar-some than ever before. With brand new songs, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s much-loved Zog is a magical production for all ages.

Ladykiller

A hotel room, a maid and a dead woman. It’s not what it looks like, really, it’s not. It was self-defence… and anyway, the woman was asking for it. The chambermaid considers herself to be a pretty normal person; she goes to the cinema. She reads books. She pretended to read the party manifestos at the General Election. She’s even read The Psychopath Test and she’s pretty sure she’s not one. Winner of the 2019 Pleasance VAULT award, Ladykiller was a sell out at Edinburgh Fringe 2018 and Vault Festival 2019. A blood-soaked morality tale about victimhood, power and flipping the gender rule book on psychopathy.
