The Lost Forest
Indigo Moon Theatre
There's magic and mayhem in the rainforest! Animals homes are at risk as bulldozers and diggers crash their way through trees and foliage. Who will come to the rescue and fight the evil Endorro? Can we save the rainforest?
The Lost Forest takes a vital concern and turns it into a fun and dynamic show, using Wayang Golek (colourful rod puppets from West Java), stunning rainforest projections, shadow theatre and original music. Suitable for children 5+ and their parents.
The Dragon's Daughter
Blunderbus Theatre Company
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a little boy called Hans discovers a real-life baby dragon. Can Hans return his new-found friend to her mother before it is too late, or will Dotty, the tiny dragon perish in the darkness?
Written especially for 4-7 year olds, this timeless adventure will whisk you away to a world of magic and make-believe. The Dragon's Daughter is a touching, triumphant tale about a brave little boy and a scared little dragon, who learn to become the very best of friends.
Tom's Midnight Garden
Image Musical Theatre
Phllippa Pearce's wonderful story of a boy's encounter with the past has become a modern classic. It tells of the intersection of two people's time, Tom's time in the 1950's and Hatty's time of 1895. Both are children in need of companionship and both play in the garden. Their experience challenges our accepted concept of lineal time and gives us a fascinating and magical experience.
With the opportunity for some children to take part as actors and the whole audience as the chorus singers this is family theatre at its very best.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Proper Job Theatre Company
Supported by Millgate Shoping Centre
In wartime England four children are evacuated to an old house where they find a magic wardrobe. Inside they find the enchanting land of Narnia; a Kingdom where it's always winter but never Christmas; a Kingdom on the verge of an epic conflict between an evil Snow Queen and a courageous lion.
Are you brave enough to go inside and share the children's adventures? Have you the courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with Aslan, the great lion, and fight the Snow Queen? Narnia is waiting; it needs your help...
CS Lewis' classic tale for children (and adults!) comes alive on stage with wondrous characters and special theatrical tricks to help re-tell this extraordinary story that will draw you in from the moment you sit in your seat.
For ages 5 years plus.
Duration 90 minutes plus interval.
