Adapted by Carol Ann Duffy and dramatised by Tim Supple.

In the dead of night, the moon is hiding behind a cloud, and deep in the dark, dark forest two children are lost, scared and hungry....

A young girl, exhausted with work and deprived of a bed, lies down in the dirty ashes. Her stepsisters with hearts as ugly as thorns snigger at her.

Shake your leaves and branches, little tree,

Shower gold and silver down on me.

The deliciously scary and thrillingly dramatic stories of the Brothers Grimm are brought to life in an imaginative new production by internationally acclaimed Theatr Iolo.

Includes Hansel and Gretel and the original version of Cinderella, there are sure to be classic stories you know, and several that you may not!

‘How I long to sail,’ said the tiny snail…

Tall Stories (creators of the Gruffalo and Room on the Broom stage shows) are proud to present their latest collaboration with Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

Then disaster strikes – the whale becomes beached in a bay... Can the tiny snail save the day?

Imaginative storytelling, lots of laughs and fantastic new music played live on stage.

Created in Tall Stories’ unique style, The Snail and the Whale mixes imaginative storytelling, lots of laughs and fantastic new music played live on stage – in a show for everyone aged 4 plus.

The journey into adulthood never runs smoothly.

“These boys are one to watch. Fabulous performance of MAN. I loved it!”

BBC Radio Leicester’s Jonathan Lampon

“The delivery was excellent: a mix of Morecambe and Wise, Reeves and Mortimer and a hint of Ricky Gervais, but in a voice that was undoubtably their own”

Certified Curve theatre Leicester, England

CERTIFIED

20 - 29 SEP 2012
STUDIO PERFORMANCE

The international comedy hit that lifts the lid on all that secret men’s business makes its long-anticipated national debut after ten years of sell out seasons in seven countries.

The company is restructuring so it’s off for a weekend to the Tropics to brainstorm. Four executives leave the safety of their comfortable office and their £2,000 suits, and set off to a place that is far from home and full of surprises.

But all is not well in this island paradise and one of the men is not coming back. Perhaps it isn’t a man’s world after all.

Certified, starring Les Dennis and Christopher Timothy - the brutally frank and seriously funny new comedy, new to the UK.

“Certified is a crash course in performance styles. It is not enough that this sterling male quartet has to act, sing and dance. They also have to mime up a storm. 
It's the physicality of this work, fused with clever writing that is the clincher.”  The Independent

“Scott Rankin and Glynn Nicholas’s show digs deep into the wounded recesses of the modern male psyche, but it does so with the lightest of touches.  Self-pity though is not the order of the day – joshing good humour is.”  Daily Telegraph
