ANNUAL PANTO – BEAUTY AND BEAST DIRECTED BY MARCUS HOLLAND
Our Annual Panto is back and better than ever
A tale (almost) as old as time… Packed with songs, side splitting jokes and even a tear or two. Not only does Beauty finally get her Prince – but her fast talking French poodle also finds love in the topsy turvy world of the Beast’s palace – where even the furniture can talk!

Little Earthquake Theatre presents I AIN’T AFRAID OF NO GHOST
A funny, nostalgic trip back to the 80’s and a home haunted by a playful poltergeist. A captivating mystery set in a recognisable suburban world.

Uchenna Dance presents – HANSEL AND GRETEL
Colourful contemporary family dance theatre with Hansel & Gretel cast as Superheroes for a modern world. Great funky music, so expect to groove in your seat as you are transported to a world far from yours with some surprising similarities.

Tommy Cooper – Just like that – Hambledon Productions
This ALL-ENCAPSULATING SHOW features John Hewer giving “a remarkably faithful performance” (Time Out) as he “captures the Cooper style, from mumbled speech and loud laughter to the awkward giant body language” (The Stage) and delivering “nuances both obvious and subtle” (Everything Theatre) as the man in the fez.

Nicholas Collett Productions presents – YOUR BARD
An informal audience with Will Shakespeare. Come and meet the man himself and take the lid off a legend in your local. This is a one man show intermingled with a few of his greatest hits – and maybe a sonnet or a song. There’s no fourth wall here – we are all in this together.

TEAM VIKING – TANGRAM THEATRE
Tender poignancy and comic touches of sheer brilliance abound in this hugely acclaimed comic ode to death and friendship from the highly innovative Tangram Theatre.
Full of ‘magnificently clever’ (The Guardian) comedy-theatre and threaded through with exquisite live music, this outlandish story of how one man gave his terminally ill best friend the full Viking funeral he’d always dreamed of, is remarkable. Deeply personal, deeply felt and delightfully comic.
Suitable for ages 14+
