David Walliams' children's novel Gangsta Granny has come to life in a live stage format, and the show has just arrived at Liverpool Empire Theatre.

Gangsta Granny tells the story of Granny (Gilly Tompkins) and her grandson Ben (Ashley Cousins). Ben has to stay at his Gran's every Friday night while his parents go dancing, and he dreads the weekly visit to see who he considers to be a dull-as-dishwater Granny, who nevertheless loves her grandson and tries to do everything she can for him. His opinion drastically changes, though, when he learns that his Granny is actually a secret thief of jewels and diamonds (hence the term Gangsta Granny), and she increases the excitement by detailing some incredible stories of past heists.
