Michael Rosen marks his 80th birthday with a new live show looking back over a lifetime of poems, performing favourites such as Chocolate Cake and Hot Food alongside unheard pieces from his new collection, Peas On Your Knees. Billed as a show for all ages, it is an evening performance, and a family ticket covers any four people.
