About this event
Ginger Jones and The Sultan’s Eye – performed by our 8-11s
By Nick Lane
A rip-roaring children’s adventure. It’s Indiana Jones meets Alice in Wonderland. . . with added silliness. Ginger Jones is a girl with a vivid imagination. Her stories are as wild as the hair on her head. So when her school enters a storytelling competition, there is no doubt as to whom they should turn for inspiration. . . except that Ginger Jones has lost her imagination! Join her best friend Stan West as he describes the extreme tale of their adventures during the summer holidays. Featuring talking camels, sultans and a possible ruby or two.
Wellington 24 – performed by our 12-16s
By Rachel Harper in association with Nick Hern Books
An upbeat and empowering wartime tale about teamwork, collaboration and beating the odds.
It’s 1943, World War II rages on, and the men are gone. It’s left to the ‘women in the workmen’s boots’ to pick up the pieces in the factory. They’re being relied upon to build the planes that could win the war, and they take the responsibility seriously. On this particular day, they’re attempting to build a Wellington bomber in record-breaking time: under twenty-four hours. As temperatures rise and prejudices bubble up, will they be able to pull together in time?
