Jess Love: And the Little One Said @ Jacksons Lane
Jul 14 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Combining high-level circus skills with pathos, humour and beauty, Jess Love creates a vision that is at once delicately touching, visually enchanting and heart-warmingly playful. Dark clowning, dirty acrobatics and surreal sideshow feats go hand-in-hand with slapstick, roller-skating, hula hoops, skipping and hopscotch acrobatics – phew! With crafted storytelling and awe inspiring images on a bed of roses and broken glass, it’s so sweet you’ll want to squeal!

“LIVELY AND ENTERTAINING…SERIOUSLY WACKY…EXCITING…CHARISMATIC”★★★★ THE AGE

Scorched @ Jacksons Lane
May 6 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

1941. Egypt. WWII. An escaped German officer. A two day chase across the brutal Sahara. A triumphant capture. A hero’s return.
1991. England. Jack reigns from the armchair of his rest home, a local legend. Decorated veteran of Tobruk. Former river warden, boxer, horse whisperer, boat builder, charmer, prolific father and husband to a very unhappy wife. Dementia is eroding his mind. As the Gulf War rages, the past drags him back to the scorched sands. Inspired by the writer’s grandfather.
Following its critically acclaimed debut at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, Open Sky present Scorched, using new writing, visual physical theatre, period music and an innovative set to create the workings of a mind sinking into the sands of time. “Striking theatrical invention” The Stage

Children’s Theatre – The Enormous Turnip @ Lauderdale House
Oct 13 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

One Moment In Time Theatre present their own version of the classic folk tale The Enormous Turnip – but with a magical twist! We follow the tale of a young girl called Rosie who dreams of carving a special turnip lantern for the Festival of Light. To plant and harvest the turnip, Rosie will need plenty of help from the audience, her animal friends and one small but very important gnome! Little does Rosie know how absolutely enormous her turnip will grow!

“The show was completely magical and the puppetry exquisite. The children were hooked from the outset.”
– Samantha Lane, artistic director, Little Angel Theatre, London

Using beautiful puppetry and engaging story-telling, this performance captivates children’s attention as the action on stage unfolds. The Enormous Turnip is perfect for young children and fun for the whole family.

The Enormous Turnip takes place at Lauderdale House on 13 October, starting at 10:30am. Suitable for children aged 2 and up.
