Top of PageLittle Boy Who Lost the Morning, The
Synopsis:
A Christmas show for little people who don't like going to sleep (and their tired parents). there was once a little boy who did not like going to bed. Not one bit. He would think of every way not to go to bed; hiding under the bed (but his parents always knew to check there first); hiding behind the curtains (but his slippers would stick out of the bottom); hiding in the cupboard (but it wasn't a very big cupboard). On the longest night of the year the little boy decides he'll stay up all night. But this night seems to go on forever. Under the watchful gaze of the Mam in the Moon, the little boy must go on an adventure to the darkest places; is it possible that he has lost the morning? Join us this Christmas for an alternative bedtime story full of moonlit magic, our usual sprinkle of audience participation and not a lullaby in sight.

Top of PageSend More Paper
Synopsis:
Send More Paper is the (true) story of a group of women in Hungary in the early twentieth century who committed mass murder over a period of fifteen years. There are any number of ways this tale can be told, from Grand Guignol to tortured psychological drama, from police procedural to drama-doc reconstruction, but North has opted for a fast-moving presentation, including elements of Grand Guignol, physical theatre, clowning and mime, along with text, to tell the story in an amusing and entertaining way. - http://www.britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/sned-more-paper-northern-stage-10006

Top of PageShh. . .A Christmas Story
Synopsis:
A brand new Christmas story for little people who find it hard to stay quiet (and their grown ups). It's Christmas Eve and a very excited Boo has to go with her dad to work. He works in a grand old library, where only grown-ups can touch the books and it's very important to be quiet. Boo soon finds that this library is anything but quiet and the reason you're told 'Don't Touch' is because it's very easy to fall into a book and get very lost. Join Boo on her adventure into a maze of books, up ladders and into the book shelves meeting cheeky and sneaky characters along the way.
