The first ever stage adaptation of Lauren Child’s bestselling mystery series, ‘one of the best things to happen to British fiction’ (Sunday Times).

When the world’s greatest criminal masterminds target a supernatural statue, it’s up to Ruby – code-breaker, special agent and thirteen-year-old girl – to crack the case. This quirky, hilarious spy thriller takes us into a world of terrifying villains, cutting-edge gadgets and death-defying escapes, in a race to prove that being a spy is actually child’s play.

“Child’s tale shines through and fans of the book will enjoy seeing Ruby brought to life with such verve.”
The Scotsman

“This is a very well-drilled production that will appeal to pretty much anyone who has read (or had read to them by Mum, Dad, Granny, etc.) the books, or would be a great way of introducing someone to the works of this well-loved children’s author.”
