Terry Deary

Historian Terry Deary is set to take Lichfield theatre audiences back to wartime 1940 in his new one-man show.

Blitz Roadshow sees the actor, singer and author threading the tales of humour and heartbreak through the story of his new novel *Put Out The Light*.

Terry has sold more than 25 million copies of his books in 40 languages. His most popular non-fiction books are the iconic *Horrible Histories*.

A spokesperson for the show said:

> “The audience are invited to join in with some of the famous and the forgotten songs of the era, listen to fascinating facts from a master story-teller and then have a chance to put the author under fire with questions of their own.”

An Audience With Terry Deary will be at the Lichfield Garrick on May 8 at 2.30pm. Tickets cost from £10, and can be booked via [www.lichfieldgarrick.com](http://www.lichfieldgarrick.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) or by calling the Box Office on 01543 412121.
