Started by York Uni graduate Oliver Jones, the Rubber Duck theatre company have been putting on children's shows from their base in York since 1994.

Come to an evening of enchanting fairytales where prophets, fairy spirits, ghosts and talking animals will lead you through the origins of the medieval land of the Czechs.
