For our littlest audience members we’re bringing back Long Nosed Puppets with their beautiful adaptation of Polly Dunbar’s book Arthur’s Dream Boat. Our own Saturday Storytime continues to brighten up Saturday mornings, so we’ve added more seats and another five performances.As ever, our stand-up comedy programme packs a real punch, with big hitters Hal Cruttenden and Mark Watson.

In June we will showcase new writing talent through In Short. This event will feature a team of professional actors and directors working together to create five new plays in a single day.And finally we are introducing a brand new website and ticketing system to make finding information and booking tickets even easier – we’d love to hear your feedback.

Enjoy your summer! Owen Calvert-Lyons Artistic Director

Alice 1915. While bombs rain down outside, Alice Hargreaves takes refuge in her dusty cellar, rediscovering her childhood amongst tennis racquets and moth-eaten christening gowns. Meanwhile her son Alan, a WWi soldier, makes the same imaginary journey down the rabbit hole, returning them both to a wonderland of talking rabbits, mad hatters and savage queens.
