Poonamallee Productions in association with Exeter Northcott Theatre present Michael Morpurgo's TORO! TORO!
Young Antonito lives an idyllic life on his parents' cattle farm in southern Spain. But the peace is shattered when he realises that his favourite bull-calf, brave Paco, is destined to fight in the bullring.

But it will take enormous courage - because this is 1936, and the drums of civil war are echoing across the Spanish plains.
