A woman with green hair is surrounded by a black and white snake. There are children in school uniform, one is scared, one is unimpressed.

There's a Snake in my School

Based on David Walliams’ number one bestselling book, There’s A Snake in my School is a ssss-spectacularly funny new musical.

Today is no ordinary school day – it’s Bring-your-pet-to-school Day! – and Miranda, who loves to be different, introduces her classmates to her very special pet … Penelope the python! And she’s enormous!

Miss Bloat, the horrid headmistress, doesn’t like pets much. Or children. She thinks snakes shouldn’t be allowed in school. But Penelope has other ideas-ssss…

Full of silliness-sss, shenanigans-ssss and songs-ssss – plus an array of awesome animals – There’s A Snake in my School teaches us to defend our friends and dare to be different.
