PONTARDAWE Arts Centre plays host to an epic tale of heroes, heroines and hairdressers tonight.

A walk in the woods should be fun, play or for a visit to Grandma's.

No so good for Good King Orik.

He went in smiling and came out cursed with the great big furry ears of a donkey.

Shocked, embarrassed and very upset, the King hides away in his tower, desperately hoping that no-one will find out the secret hidden beneath his hat.

But Scruffibus, the King's wise and faithful dog, cannot bear to see his master upset and realises that something must be done.

Theatre of Widdershins brings you this tale of mythical mayhem and asinine antics, lovingly retold with the company's unique blend of puppetry, storytelling and original music.

The King's Got Donkey Ears is on at 1.30pm and 6pm.
