Pantomime

This lively pantomime adaptation of Pocahontas follows a magical and action-packed journey split into two acts. The story begins with Grandmother Willow's dreamcatcher foreshadowing danger, as the villainous Ratcliff is revealed. We’re introduced to the Powhattan tribe, the arriving ship of settlers, and the fateful meeting between Pocahontas and John Smith in the mystical glade. The narrative shifts through various vibrant settings including forests, cliffs, and the flamboyant Pink Pony Club run by Dame Cher O-kee. Tensions rise aboard the ship, leading into another mystical dreamcatcher moment. The plot thickens as John Smith escapes with help from Wig, Wam and Tom-ee, and Pocahontas rallies her Indians. After returning to the mystical glades, the climactic Battle of Bogles Creek sees the defeat of Ratcliff. The pantomime concludes with Pocahontas being crowned in a celebratory finale.

Please note once the curtain is up there is no entry till the break

The Twa Roberts

BY Pauline Vallance & Penni McLaren Walker

Touring Company

The Twa Roberts is a one hour two woman show with songs, about Robert Tannahill and Robert Burns. These 2 poets were born 15 years apart, with very different attitudes to women. Robert Tannahill (Paisley's Weaver Poet) was shy and self conscious about his limp and never married after being let down by his love, Jessie. Robert Burns was well known for being rather a magnet for womankind, had many conquests, as well as a long marriage to Jean Armour. But how would they fare in today's dating scene? What would they put in their Tinder profile? Where would they take you on a first date? What music would they be into?

Singer/songwriters Pauline Vallance and Penni Mclaren Walker have been pondering these questions and have turned them into a show, featuring some original songs, as well as those of Tannahill and Burns. There are many shows about the more famous Robert and about his attitudes to women, but what about the lesser known Robert? How would his quiet and steadfast qualities fare compared to the charisma and magnetism of Robert Burns?

The show is set in the present and through the eyes of two women who date these two poets. It is lighthearted and filled with captivating songs, but also opens up discussion about attitudes to women, past and present

Tickets £12.00
