The Old Curiosity Shop – NTC Northumbria Touring Co.  FAMILY FRIENDLY!

Friday 1st October 7.00pm

Well here’s a curious thing – it’s not about a shop at all!  Charles Dickens changed his mind!  The Old Curiosity Shop is the story of a journey; the flight taken by Little Nell and her Grandfather, an escape from the demons and enemies of a past life.  True to the inner life of the book, this imaginative adaptation by acclaimed theatre company NTC, shows Dickens at his best, funniest and as a master of the grotesque!

The Bridge by Alex Jones – Mouthpiece Productions Ltd

Wednesday 6th October 7.30pm

Say you have been at Worcester, where England’s sorrows began, and where they are happily ended…

Tom and Lucy are on the run. Offered shelter and friendship by a stranger, they hide away in an ancient house. As time passes, Lucy becomes convinced she’s been in this house before – hundreds of years before when she and Tom were fugitives running from Oliver Cromwell’s army after the bloody Battle of Worcester had put an end to the long and bitter English Civil War.

How do you escape the past when it will never let you go?

A spine-chilling, supernatural thriller for a dark winter’s night from professional touring company Mouthpiece Productions.
