Tiny people will emerge from their home under the floorboards to explore Harrogate Theatre this month.

They feature in a stage version of the Mary Norton novel, The Borrowers, which has already been adapted for TV and film.

The under-floor world of The Borrowers comes to life after little Arletty makes friends with one of the children in the house. From that moment, they're in grave danger of being found by the adults.

The production, by award-winning children's playwright Charles Way, broke all records when premiered at Polka Children's Theatre, in Wimbledon, at Christmas.

There are daytime and evening performances of The Borrowers, at Harrogate Theatre, from February 27 to March 3. Details and tickets from (01423) 502116
