Charles Dickens' festive favourite has been adapted by Phil Willmott into a musical. The production is set in a Victorian back street inn amongst a world of ghosts, magic, hardship and hope. Rapidly drawing in a crowd of local punters, Dickens takes them on a whirlwind trip through the past, present and future of tight-fisted Ebenezer Scrooge, including a peek into the family life of his clerk, whose son, Tiny Tim, just may be the key to unlocking the old miser's heart. The 16-strong cast are all actor musicians and sing and play a variety of instruments throughout the show. As well as traditional carols, the score puts new words to classical tunes from Greig, Prokoviev and Strauss.

Set in Liverpool in 1962, this dramatised melodramatic version of the subsequent smash hit musical, is fast moving and perceptive, thought provoking, funny, yet ultimately tragic. It tells the tale of twin brothers who are born into a large working class family and what happens when their mother decides to have one of them adopted. Blood Brothers examines the differences and conflicts of their different upbringings, their relationships with each other and their real and adopted mothers. The play considers the degree to which success in life is determined not by innate qualities but by the privileges, or disadvantages, of our upbringings.
