Using music, puppetry and comic happenings and absolutely no dialogue, it's a show that's accessible to both Deaf and hearing audiences in a shared experience. (Suitable for age 8+) * Captioned performance for A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens on Wednesday 16th November at 7.45pm Dickens considered his novel, A Tale Of Two Cities the best story he had ever written. Interweaving one family’s intensely personal drama with the terror and chaos of the French Revolution, it is an epic story of love, sacrifice and redemption amidst horrific violence and world changing events. * British Sign Language Interpreted Performance of Jack & The Beanstalk on Saturday 7th January at 2pm.
