A controversial musical highlighting the high-profile story of Shannon Matthews' disappearance is set to hit the stage. The work comes 12 years after the Dewsbury Moor girl went missing for more than three weeks before she was found hidden in the base of a divan bed at a flat just a mile from her home.
Her disappearance sparked one of West Yorkshire's biggest manhunts and the Dewsbury Moor estate banded together to search for the schoolgirl and support Karen and her family. However, some suspected her mother Karen had something to do with it.
According to YorkshireLive, musical comedy act Kunt and the Gang have now announced two performances of Shannon Matthews The Musical at the Lending Room, in Woodhouse, Leeds, on July 23, at 6.30pm and 9.30pm. The show has already sold out a later run at Edinburgh Fringe.
