SUMMARY:Our Little Hour
DESCRIPTION:Hailed as “an intensely moving new musical drama”\, Our Little Hour tells the inspirational story of how Walter Tull – grandson of a Barbadian slave and orphaned at just eight years old – rose to prominence as the first black footballer to play at the highest level of the domestic game in the UK before achieving another historic breakthrough as the first man of his heritage to be commissioned as an Officer in the British Army. \nWritten by award winning playwright Dougie Blaxland and including 16 “hauntingly beautiful original songs Our Little Hour is a show “not to be missed”. \n\nBrendan Batson and Chris Lewis will be joining us for a post-show discussion on Sat 28 Feb. \nBrendan Batson is one of the legendary 1970’s West Bromwich Albion trio of black players known as “The Three Degrees” (Laurie Cunnungham\, Cyrille Regis & Brendan Batson). Chris Lewis is a Guyanan born international cricketing star and one of the first black cricketers to represent England. He played 85 times for England and was International Cricketer of the Year in 1992. Both Brendan and Chris see the late\, great Walter Tull as a pioneer and hero who made it possible for subsequent generations of sportsmen and women who share his heritage to “reach for the stars”! \n“A powerful and very moving account of Tull’s life.” – Stage Talk \n“A beautifully crafted new musical.” – Northamptonshire Telegraph \n\n \nAge: 11+\n \n \nGet Tickets

SUMMARY:Small Island
DESCRIPTION:Journey from the sun-drenched shores of Jamaica to the cold\, grey streets of 1940s London in Small Island\, a powerful and intimate portrayal of Andrea Levy’s multi award-winning novel\, adapted for the stage by Helen Edmundson.

Together\, they discover love across culture\, colour and class – and the fragile hope of a shared future. \nSpanning decades and continents\, this brand-new production draws on the joyful rhythms of calypso and the harsh realities of post-war Britain to explore the emotional truth of our collective history\, brought vividly to life through music\, striking visuals and a compelling story you will never forget. \nTickets from £25\nA transaction fee of 3.50 applies on all payment types \n \n  \nGet Tickets
