This Saturday...

The perfect end to half term - shadow puppets and tigers! 

Acclaimed British-Bengali band Khiyo provide the music for Komola Collective’s new family theatre piece that creates the magical world of Bonbibi through puppetry, physical theatre and contemporary storytelling. 

Come and listen to Mohiruho, the magical talking tree, as she tells stories of crocodiles, monkeys, deer, tigers and a brother and sister who live in a forest. Daughter of the Forest is an exciting and colourful adventure for all ages using shadow puppets and a life-size tiger model! Told using narrated legends and dramatic physical action, this is a story about the importance of caring for the world around us, rather than exploiting nature for our own gain. Book now.

Sat 5 Nov | 11am & 2pm | Ages 4+

Tangles? Split ends? Frizzy? Flyaway? It’s hard enough having a bad hair day, but pity poor Rapunzel spending her life in a tower with a wicked old witch using her captive’s locks as a step ladder! What sort of damage is that going to do to your hair? Theatre of Widdershins have taken this popular fairytale back to its dark roots, teased out the tangles and styled it into a beautifully coiffured hair piece. Make an appointment to see the show today – because you’re worth it!

A reimagining of Peter Pan as told by Wendy Darling. Through her open window Wendy gazes out at the night sky dreaming of blue lagoons, magical moons and the stories that she can tell.

Book now for this sparkling new production with exquisite music and enthralling movement.
