The Gingerbread Man @ Jacksons Lane

“Run, run, as fast as you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man!”

Chase after our cheeky gingerbread hero as he sets off on the biggest adventure of his life – out of the kitchen, through the town, across the fields and all the way to the river. Now if he could just avoid that sly old fox…

Hiccup Theatre cook up a brand new version of this classic tale, adding scrumptious original songs, tasty story-telling and dollops of delight. Jacksons Lane’s 2018 Christmas show will be a delicious adventure for families.

Intronauts @ Jacksons Lane
Jan 11 @ 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm

In a not-too-distant future people can buy personal cleaners called Intronauts – miniaturised human workers injected into their bodies to carry out essential maintenance. But how much do we really want to know about what goes on inside ourselves? Green Ginger‘s new show is a story of advancing technology, big syringes and a tiny submarine. Taking its cue from classic sci-fi movies and fuelled by absurd visual comedy, animated sets and innovative puppetry, Intronauts offers an intoxicating inner body experience that is out of this world. Join them for a trip that really gets under the skin; after all, what could possibly go wrong?
