Synopsis:
When Phileas Fogg and his faithful servant Passepartout board the train in London in 1875, he has only 80 days to travel round the world to win the wager between him and his friends at the great Reform Club.

Top of PageEnd Of Everything Ever
Synopsis:
Telling the story of the Kindertransport-the mass evacuation to Britain of approximately 10,000 German Jewish children in the early years of World War Il-the show follows the journey of six-year-old Agata who, tired and hungry on the train from Germany, chews on the paper name tag tied around her neck and erases any chance of getting back home again. Featuring a five-piece band, multiple languages, and an array of theatrical styles, NIE shines a light onto one of the darkest moments in European history and emerges with a story of survival, love and hope. Vibrantly staged and emotionally engaging, the End of Everything Ever is an accessible and poignant retelling of one of the saddest stories in recent European history -the children caught up in the Nazi holocaust.

Top of PageMuseum Of Memories
Synopsis:
With warmth, music and humour, 5 actor-musicians from award-winning theatre company NIE (New International Encounter) tell the story of someone they have lost. Museum of Memories is an exploration of life, death and memory; the the way that one life touches another, the important things that pass between us and the ripples and echoes that we leave behind. Museum of Memories is an immersive experience for audiences, where they have the opportunity to enter a self-contained environment constructed out of 70m2 of rusty drawers and watch the action unfold round them. After the performance, you are free to explore the space - open drawers, look at pictures and objects and discover memories of Markus's life.
