THE exceptional story of Novecento comes to the Courtyard Theatre in Hereford next week.

A baby found under a grand piano of a cruise ship is named Novecento (1900) after the year he was born. He grows up on board and eventually becomes one of the finest pianists in the world - never setting foot on dry land.

The performance on Thursday, June 29, starts at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced £11, £10 and £8.50, are available on 0870 1122330.
