PADOS Youth Group's 20th Anniversary show is Broadway's best loved musical of all time, Les Miserables, specially adapted for youth.

This stunning production featuring a cast of over forty young actors and singers up to eighteen years and a live orchestra is directed by Tim Platt, with choreography by Helen Halstead and Musical Direction by Anthony Quimby.

Two women and an incoherent male live together but can't quite work out why. The radio is broken, another mysterious relative has died and there's a parcel on the step.

Conjuring an evocative world of mutinous rag-toys, domestic wormholes and poignant forgotten dreams, Clunk is a darkly rebellious feast of unhinged humour, charming puppetry and existential angst.

Chickenshed's explosive dance theatre company turns its attention to the proliferation of knife crime amongst young people.

Using words, movement and projection alongside a contemporary score of hip-hop and dance music, Crime of the Century packs a frightening punch. The story is based on interviews with victims, perpetrators, families, surgeons, police officers and ex-offenders.

"Emotive and shocking, Chickenshed theatre company's Crime of the Century is a raw and brutal study of the social engineering that affects so many young people today."Edinburgh Evening News
