The Gingerbread Man, a musical play by David Wood,
The action takes place on an antique kitchen dresser where The Gingerbread Man, newly baked by the Big Ones, meets Salt, Pepper and Herr Von Cuckoo, who lives in the cuckoo-clock. He has a sore throat which is ruining his “cuckoos”, thus threatening to land him in the dreaded dustbin. The Gingerbread Man’s efforts to help Cuckoo’s sore throat are hampered by the villainous scavenger Sleek the Mouse and by The Old Bag – an old tea-bag who lives in the tea pot on the top shelf.

The Jungle Book, (based on the book by Rudyard Kipling)
Join Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves, as he adventures through the jungle encountering a colourful cast of characters including the wise panther Bagheera, the fun-loving bear Baloo, and the fearsome tiger Shere Khan.
Interspersed with the Mowgli tale is the intriguing story of a young Rudyard Kipling, who is sent from his home in Bombay to a British boarding school, where he encounters his own "jungle".

‘The Jungle Book’ is a timeless story, that explores themes of courage, friendship, and the importance of finding one’s place in the world. Embark on a wild journey with Mowgli as he discovers the true meaning of family and belonging in this enchanting adaptation.
