Stories of a Little Watersprite

11:30am & 1:30pm | £10 | 4+

Amongst drifting waterweed and ancient mossy rocks, newts, snails and fish of all sizes go about their business. But strange things have started to appear. Things that crinkle and clatter and clutter up the pond. This underwater world needs change. This is where a little watersprite awakens…

Sophie Nüzel’s work for families uses storytelling, movement and puppetry to tell an important tale of our time and how we can come together to create change.

Grab a fancy gin, locally brewed beer, or a sharing platter of tasty snacks before the show!

Santi & Naz

Thu 22 – Fri 23 Jun

8pm | £12 | 12+

Drama

Santi and Naz are bestest-best friends living in a village in pre-partition India.

One Sikh, one Muslim; they have little understanding of how religion will divide them. As partition draws closer, the carefree girls remain oblivious to the spreading social unrest and violence. But when Naz is betrothed to a tailor from the soon-to-be capital of Pakistan, the threat of separation for the young women looms. Bound by their love, we learn how far they will go to avoid the inevitable. Winners of the Pleasance’s Charlie Hartill Fund 2023.
