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.
