A delightful musical adventure with live music, song, puppetry and physical theatre.

Ruby tries and tries to get rid of her worry, which grows bigger and bigger! Eventually she meets a boy who has a worry too. Together they discover that everyone has worries, and that if you talk about them, they never hang around for long.

Based on the book Ruby’s Worry, written and illustrated by Tom Percival and published by Bloomsbury.
