PIRATE Gran is taking to the stage this week in Dorchester and Bridport.

This Easter, Scamp Theatre is presenting the hilarious story of the seafaring pensioner on April 18 at Dorchester Arts Centre at 3pm and April 19 at the Bridport Arts Centre at 3.30pm.

The swashbuckling show is based on the books by Geraldine Durrant and Rose Forshall.

With a pet crocodile under her bed, a wicked sense of humour and a whole raft of adventures under her belt – time with Gran is never dull.
