A DRAGON who hates poetry, a gruesome monster living in an old maths book and the smelliest cat in the whole wide world will be revealed in Northwich this month.

Harlequin Theatre, in Queen Street, will host storyteller Dommy B and The Dragon Who Hates Poetry.

This is his first show for children and families and comes straight from a run at the 2013 Edinburgh Free Fringe.

The show, a Cheshire Rural Touring Network Event promoted by DAN Community, takes place at 11am on October 19.

Tickets are £5 for adults and £3 for children.

For more information visit danarts.org or ring 01606 41597.

Dominic Berry is also working with children at Witton Church Walk Primary School, UCAN students at Rudheath and the OPEL Age UK group at Winnington Rec.

The groups are writing poems about Northwich, and these will be displayed on the hoardings around the new Memorial Court site, as part of the Collect project.
