Duke of York's Theatre, London
Jacqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather comes to the Duke of York’s theatre this summer in a show packed with live music and circus.

Featuring live music, circus skills and a hugely talented cast, follow plucky heroine Hetty Feather as she escapes from the Foundling Hospital and embarks on a series of thrilling adventures.
