8-11’s Youth Theatre presents: Little Criminals by Evan Placey
You know the tales… but have you heard every side of the story? Join Little Red Riding Hood, Peter Pan, Goldilocks and many more famous characters as they take to the stand and face their fate. Who are the real baddies here? The trial of the Little Criminals is about to begin.
12-16’s Youth Theatre presents: The Wardrobe by Sam Holdcroft – in association with Nick Hern Books.
“’That’s what a wardrobe is for – to guard your secrets. Warden, warder, wardrobe. And it is nearly one hundred and fifty years old. So imagine what secrets it has kept guard over in all that time.” Across seven centuries, small groups of children seek sanctuary in the same solid old wardrobe. It’s the safest place they know – but is it safe enough?
