SUMMARY:Up Down Big Man - The Weston Studio
DESCRIPTION:  \nThere comes a time in every young man’s life when he has to leave home. For Matty\, it’s forty! \nHe really is a big man. But with his mother gone – and his Dad moving on\, what’s next for Matty? He needs support\, but what is the best form of care for him? How can he be independent and safe? \nAnd as he leaves the sanctuary of his house for the final time\, is there space in the boxes for his most treasured possession? \nFollowing the critical success of Up Down Boy (2012) and Up Down Man (2016)\, this standalone production is the third in a trilogy of plays inspired by the life story of the gifted and charismatic performer Nathan Bessell. In Up Down Big Man Nathan returns to play Matty in a play full of wit\, anarchy and heart.

SUMMARY:Goldilock\, Stock & Three Smoking Bears - The Wardrobe Theatre
DESCRIPTION:This Christmas\, The Wardrobe Theatre is giddy to bring back one of our all-time favourite productions. As we celebrate 10 years of The Wardrobe Theatre in Old Market\, we’re going back to where it all began with the first show ever to be performed here. Get ready for an ill-fated fusion of the classic porridge-thieving fairy tale with 1998’s cult cockney caper to create something new\, exciting\, smart and very\, very funny. \nThe silver-tongued Goldilock can see that her days of selling moody goods on the cobbled streets of East End London are numbered. But when circumstances leave her on the run from a pack of bears and badly indebted to a notorious gangster\, will our young heroine be able to raise the needed ‘bees and honey’ in time and avoid doing porridge?
