THEATRE TRIPS 2014!

We are offering 2 trips next half term to the Unicorn Theatre again in London Bridge. Tickets are discounted at just £7.50 each. Letters have gone out in book bags and the dates are:

Reception and KS1 - Grandpa's Railway Saturday 8/2 at 2pm 

A journey of friendship and discovery.

Featuring live music, a working model railway and a coach load of surprises, our playful characters embark on an evocative journey that explores the past, illuminates the present and lays new tracks for the future.

From the team behind the highly acclaimed One Little Word comes M6's new production for children and families.

"Beautifully and confidently made" The Guardian on One Little Word

Age guide 5 plus.

Y2 and KS2 - The Pardoner's Tale Saturday 18th/1 at 2pm

Come Pilgrims come...

You have been summoned by the Pardoner to the Tabard Inn, a place where stories are currency and any troubles are left in the bottom of a glass...

He wants to tell you the tale of three men who once set out on a journey to kill Death and get rich quick. He wants to show you how their quest to revenge the death of a mutual friend turned into a treacherous journey into the dark world of greed, murder and mayhem. He wants you to know that you should always watch your back, because you never know where your enemies may hide.

base on the ancient tale by Geoffrey Chaucer written 700 years ago, The Pardoner's Tale is the latest adaptation by Tangere Arts, the company behind last year's A Thousand Slimy Things.

"the excellent Tangere Arts, a company whose distinctive mix of storytelling, physical theatre and live music has produced a number of hits" The Guardian

To give people more time the deadline for both shows has been extended to Wednesday 27th November. Please leave payments marked up with my name in the office by then. There are free Up! club activities on this day.

A reminder to those coming along on 30/11 to see Cinderella at the Unicorn at 3pm and Puss in Boots at 7pm at Greenwich Theatre. Please ensure you get to the theatre half an hour before the performance is due to start as we will go in on one group ticket. I will send out letters/emails with a reminder of all the details next week.

The Unicorn has a special offer of some free tickets in exchange for some feedback from parents on their new website. If you are interested in this and DON'T use their website frequently, please email rosendaletheatreclub@gmail.com and I will send you the details. 

We're looking for a small group of people who represent our audience but who may not be as used to navigating the Unicorn site, to come in and complete some testing here at the Unicorn. The testing would only take around 30-45 mins and would consist of me observing them completing online scenarios and then having a chat. In return we'll be offering 2 tickets for an upcoming show as a thank you.
