Perhaps Shakespeare's most famous play, the Romantic Tragedy of the star-crossed lovers Romeo & Juliet. Two families of Verona, the Montagues and the Capulets, who have been feuding with each other for years. Young Romeo Montague goes out with his friends to make trouble at a party the Capulets are hosting, but while there he spies the Capulet's daughter Juliet, and falls hopelessly in love with her. She returns his affections, but they both know that their families will never allow them to follow their hearts. Another highly accessible production using period costumes and settings which brings out all of the elements of this, Shakespeare's most famous play. Two young lovers, little more than children, cannot understand the hatred of an older generation that keeps them apart, and choose to die rather than live without each other. Still as relevant today as it was when it was written, the play is also a wonderful introduction to Shakespeare for pupils of all ages and a must for pupils studying the text.

Belle Duchant lives with her inventor father and her two horrid sisters, in a small village in rural France. When Mr. Duchant goes off to the Big City to sell his latest invention, he gets lost in the fog and stumbles across an ancient castle where a Prince lives hidden away from the world because of the witches curse which has turned him into a hideous Beast. Belle agrees to live with the Beast in exchange for her father's freedom and despite his appearance she falls in love with him. Just in the nick of time, and with a lot of help from the audience, she breaks the evil curse, so they can live happily ever after. Bright, colourful and not at all scary, so very suitable for all ages. It has everything you need to make the season go with a bang. Fun and enjoyment for everyone guaranteed.

A wonderful BITESIZE stage adaptation of Robert Browning's classic narrative poem. The town of Hamelin is a very pleasant place to live but it does have one BIG problem. RATS ! They fought the dogs and killed the cats, made nests inside men's Sunday hats, and even spoiled the women's chats, by drowning their speaking, with shrieking and squeaking, in fifty different sharps and flats. They're everywhere and the local Ratcatcher has tried everything he can think of. Lucky for the villagers, the Pied Piper has come to town to deal with the vermin..... But when the greedy Mayor refuses to pay him, the Piper exacts his revenge. A company of five with full set, costumes, lights & sound; bring you this epic tale full of fun, laughter and enjoyment for all ages and lots of opportunities for follow-up class work.
