But why is his wood-shed full of feathers and why is he asking her to collect the herbs for roast duck?

 

Back at the farm, the Collie-dog, Kep, puts two and two together, but will he be in time to rescue Jemima from her fate

From Quantum Theatre, this heart-warming adaptation of this classic tale will be an adventure for the whole family. Grab a blanket and a picnic and join Jemima for an afternoon of friendship, mishap and mayhem!
