Jacqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather Set for Encore Run in London's West End

Jacqueline Wilson’s Hetty Feather is returning to the West End this summer! Phoebe Thomas will reprise her performance in the titular role at London’s Duke of York’s Theatre from August 6 through September 6. Directed by Sally Cookson, the West End run will form part of a U.K. national tour. The show will officially open on August 7.

Hetty Feather tells the story of a foster child in Victorian London searching to find her real mother and a true family of her own. The play features live music and aerial and circus acts.

The production has been adapted from Wilson’s children’s book by Emma Reeves and features design by Katie Sykes, original music and score by Benji Bower with additional composition by Seamas H Carey and Luke Potter, aerial direction by Gwen Hales, lighting design by Aideen Malone and sound design by Leigh Davies.
