FRIDAY 18th March
Lions + Tigers + Bears, written and directed by Reece Connolly, 7:30pmFrom a paradise garden in 1888 to the Blitz-stricken streets of wartime London, from a human zoo in the 1970s to an uber-pharmaceutical lab in the distant future, the children of Time and Space are being hunted by a dark and terrible figure. A monster that feeds on their blood, and needs their bones to make its bread... Join us as five actors - the fantabulous Luke Higgins, Chloe Borthwick, Sally Morton, Joshua Young, and Georgia Wilkinson - conjure up a cast of 39 crazed characters throughout ages and across dimensions.
