YOUNGSTERS attending a Peppa Pig storytime session at a Sonning theatre were in for a real treat last week as Brian Blessed turned up to read for them.
The legendary actor is in the middle of rehearsals for Agatha Christie’s Spider’s Web, which he is directing at The Mill at Sonning from Thursday, July 6.
But he is best known to the under-5s for providing the voice of Grampy Rabbit in Peppa Pig.
Dozens of children and their parents gathered on the stage on Tuesday, June 20, to hear Brian read the story aloud, before they enjoyed a spot of singing and dressing up.
Spider’s Web opens on Thursday, July 6 and runs until September 9 at The Mill at Sonning. For tickets visit www.millatsonning.com or call the Box Office on 0118 969 8000.
