Spreacha 2014

They are new to 4th Class but that’s the only thing they have in common. Martin and Simon. Newcomers. One keen to fit in; the other doesn’t care. But they become best friends and swear an oath to stick together. They will never enter the dark side and join forces with the school bullies. But Martin does something bad. Something that destroys their friendship and leaves Simon stuck for the rest of his school days with the nickname Pondlife McGurk.
A coming of age tale about friendship, bullying and overcoming adversity.

G is ten and has never been outside. That’s just the safest thing to do, says Q. He’s the boss of the town where G lives with her father, mother, and grandfather. As long as you stay inside, nothing can go wrong. Those are Q’s rules, and everyone keeps them - until G’s grandfather remembers something and suddenly disappears. For the first time in her life, G breaks the rules and goes outside: looking for both her grandfather and the secret of Q … A spectacular show, with cameras, puppets, models, and projection – this exciting thriller for young and old will take your breath away!

From the producers of Miss Ophelia, Het Filiaal - The Netherlands.

Presented by Shortworks, a network of 4 venues committed to presenting the highest quality arts experiences for children.

A beautiful, dark and funny theatre show ideal for audiences aged 8+, families and theatregoers of all ages. Inside a magical travelling theatre tent, a storyteller shares an enchanting and timeless tale. Cheeseboy’s home planet has been reduced to a bubbling fondue. Where are his parents? How did he become marooned on Earth? A journey in turns wondrous and achingly familiar, with shades of Edward Scissorhands, Oedipus and The Little Prince. Set to lush original music by Quincy Grant, The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy will transport you to a fantastical world.
By Finegan Kruckemeyer, conceived by Andy Packer.
