CHILDREN'S heroine Tracy Beaker is coming to Dartford's Orchard Theatre next month.

The show follows the adventures of the mischevious 10-year-old and friends in their children's care home known as The Dumping Ground.

Created by award-winning novelist Jacqueline Wilson in 1991, Tracy Beaker's story has been adapted for radio and TV. The successful BBC TV version has run for five series since 2002.

Jacqueline said: "I can't wait to see Tracy Beaker Gets Real. Tracy will so love being a stage star. I'm sure all her fans will want to come and see this super adaptation by Mary Morris."
