Little Wolf's Book Of Badness

Little Wolf's Book Of Badness
Little Wolf is a Goody Four-Paws. He brushes his teeth, says please and thank you and is always in bed on time. This simply will not do . . .l Come and join him on the journey to Cunning College where he has been sent to learn the Nine Rules of Badness from the growliest greediest ghastliest Wolf of all: Uncle Bigbad! Mischief, comedy and songs create a most dastardly musical for anyone very bad (or wanting to be bad) aged 5 and up.

Our Brother David

Our Brother David
It is the summer of 2010. Despite the rapid erosion of Fairwold's coastline and a global recession threatening local businesses, ex- celebrity photographer David Tiller and his sister Sophie are managing to run their old family home as a guest house. But their peaceful existence is threatened when their one-time brother-in-law Lawrence and his stunning new girlfriend decide to spend a weekend by the sea. . .Our Brother David is a poignant tale of misplaced love, and a lively story of people trying to do the right thing in a crisis. Rich in humour, this beautiful new play, inspired by Chekhov's masterpiece Uncle Vanya, could make you think differently about the future.

Pinocchio

Pinocchio
Once upon a time . . . a carpenter finds a magic piece of wood. He makes it into a puppet to be the son he's always wanted. Pinocchio is very happy living with his father. But he longs to be a real boy and not a puppet any more. This can only happen if he learns to be good. But however hard he tries, he just can't help getting into mischief! Pinocchio sets off into the world. With a thirst for adventure but a shaky sense of right and wrong, he's an easy target for the tricksters of the world. Can he escape from the wicked puppet-master? Will he overcome temptation and learn to be brave, truthful and unselfish? and, with the Blue Fairy's help, will he become a real boy?
