SOAPBOX CHILDREN’S THEATRE TROUBLESOME TIKES Sat 23 July, 11am & 1:30pm The Troublesome Tikes are not very good at listening or doing what they’re told. So what happens when their troublesome ways go out of control? A fun family show from Stiltskin Theatre Company at their award-winning children’s theatre in Devonport Park Plymouth. Outside and undercover. Suitable for under 12s.
STERTS WENDY & PETER Thurs 14 & Fri 15 July Journey with us to Neverland, in this refreshingly clever retelling which puts Wendy at the heart of the much-loved Peter Pan story. With the Croc’ ticking, can Wendy find her true self in time to rally the troupes and rescue Peter, the Lost Boys and her family from the machinations of the dastardly Captain Hook and her blood thirsty, if not a little stinky crew! KING ARTHUR Sat 23 July, 6pm Somewhere in Britain, a long time ago, a very, very, very long time ago. A boy pulled a sword from a stone and became king. The Last Baguette returns with this fun and farcical adventure - a story of the old world, with knights, wizards, mist and magic. King Arthur is a deliberately anarchic and anachronistic re-telling of the Arthurian Legend with live music, physical comedy and lo-fi acrobatics.
