THE SECRET GARDEN

Frances Hodgson Burnett Adapted For The Stage by Neil Duffield

Mary Lennox, known as a difficult child, is sent to live at her uncle’s estate in England after her parents pass away. Misselthwaite Manor turns out to be a gloomy fortress. Her uncle is rarely home, and his young son, Colin, never leaves his room, convinced he’s an incurable invalid.

To her surprise, Mary discovers a strange walled garden that has been locked up for years. With the assistance of Dickon, the gardener’s apprentice, Mary brings the garden back to life and discovers Dickon’s amazing ability to communicate with animals.

THIS WAY UP

A young father is moving into his new house with his daughter.

There's lots to do; unpacking, decorating, organising and reorganising. All the boring things adults do which they call 'important'. But Dad's productivity is stopped in its tracks when the cardboard boxes in his living room come to life...

Join the adventure with Foxtail Theatre's 40 minute play as it takes you to the Jungle, up in the Air, the Antarctic, and many other wonderful locations. Told without words, the show uses puppetry, original music and physical theatre to tell the story. 'This Way Up' is suitable for ages 3+.

WHEN TROLLS TRY TO EAT YOUR GOLDFISH

In the middle of the night there is a noise - a snuffling and a shuffling and a splintering of wood. A line of troll-prints lead out the door, across the lawn and into the deep, dark forest. All of the animals have disappeared!

Where have they gone? One young girl is going to do everything she can to save the day ...

Dommy B (from BBC 'Rhyme Rocket') has previously performed his shows Spark, The Goblin Wizard and The Dragon Who Hates Poetry here Salford Arts.

‘My only criticism is not being warned to wear waterproof mascara, I laughed so hard!’ A Mum from Preston after 'The Dragon Who Hates Poetry'.

‘Funny and enjoyable. More! More More!’ Seven year old boy describing Dommy B poetry.

“From the moment he started to speak we were totally captivated- the incredible way he uses words, the expression and energy of the delivery and the subject matter made him irresistible.” - City Life Magazine

THE MELTING OF A SINGLE SNOWFLAKE BY LIBBY HALL

“There’s no telling what people will do, I think thoroughly good people are capable of thoroughly wicked things.’

A group of outcasts, freaks, and weirdos find friendship and common ground during the Summer holidays after the disappearance of a local school boy unites them, and forces them to examine the role they each played in his life. As they embark on a mission to find him, it becomes clear that the events of Summer ’19 will stay with them forever.

“Everything has an impact, everything, everything. Even a tiny inconsequential something, like the melting of a single snowflake, can eventually lead to an avalanche.”

A coming of age play that looks at the darker side of humanity, the ugly things that motivate and connect us.

GETTING THE THIRD DEGREE BY DOUGIE BLAXLAND

In dramatising Laurie Cunningham’s meteoric rise to stardom Getting The Third Degree also explores how he and his fellow black players - Brendon Batson and Cyrille Regis - triumphed over the racial abuse and physical threats often orchestrated by The National Front through a potent combination of footballing brilliance, charismatic style and compelling dignity.

Incorporating 1970’s funk, soul and blues, contemporary commentary and social and political speeches, Getting The Third Degree is a powerful piece of theatre that vividly recreates a tense and troubled period in the history of football and the wider society.
