Waiting For It
Wild Dandelions
Mirth, Maud & Marvel
2nd June, 17:30 (60 mins)
£7 adult, £5 child, £20 Family ticket
​
In this mystical Latin-American adventure in a computer dominated future, a machine creates two scientists in order to find “it,” plunging them into mythical lands to face fantastical creatures: a bird-mystic curing the audience of all their troubles in the jungle of a futuristic Latin-American continent and mischievous cloud-snow creatures. Audience members are invited to cross over further into their world. Through mime, clown and magic-realism we reflect on what it is we spend our lives searching for.

Tatterdemalion
Family Suitable Show
Mirth, Marvel and Maud
2nd June, 16:00
£7 adult, £5 child, £20 Family ticket
​
Hilarious, absurd and often magical, this show juxtaposes themes of loneliness and belonging with joy and exhilaration. Pathos, dark humour and Victorian aesthetics combine to create a wonderful and mysterious backdrop to a poetic and surreal journey (with more than a little silliness thrown in for good measure)
Stupid Zoo
Mirth Marvel and Maud
2nd June, 1pm (45 mins)
£7 adult, £5 child, £20 Family ticket
​
If David Attenborough and Edward Lear went on a pub-crawl and at the end of the night devised a theatre piece, this would probably be it.
Stupid Zoo is a non-verbal, absurd physical comedy and DIY puppetry show, made by two idiots with too much cardboard.
