Judith Kerr was a remarkable woman with an incredible background. Despite being forced to flee her home, she went on to create worlds and stories full of colour and love that generations of children and adults adore. Although Judith will be missed, her books and their impact on generations past and yet to come will live on, and we are so glad to be part of that with the wonderful live production of The Tiger Who Came to Tea gracing Theatre Royal stage Fri 25 — Sun 27 Oct (http://bit.ly/2QjRU5h). Thank you Judith, for everything.
