Simon’s wife is away, and he is looking forward to settling down to his new recording of Wagner’s Parsifal. No such luck!

Willy Russell’s smash-hit play with songs is about a school-outing coach trip to the seaside - a coach-load of unruly kids, footloose, 14- year olds and away from school. These kids are in the educational “no hopers” category. One teacher – Mr Briggs – thinks a day out is a waste of time and they should be in their classes, but another teacher, Mrs Kay, believes these kids deserve at least some fun in their lives. A clash of teachers, a wild melee of exuberant kids, a riot of misbehaviour, a recipe for a bitter-sweet, funny-sad comedy by the author of “Blood Brothers” and “Educating Rita”.

Yet another 'bloody' musical...! A classic love story with bite...! ‘Bat Boy: The Musical’ opened to great critical acclaim Off-Broadway winning the award for 'Best Musical'. An unforgettable musical comedy that tells the amazing story of a strange boy with pointy ears, his struggle to find a place in a world that shuns him, and the love that can create both miracles and madness. Darkly funny and curiously touching – for fans of modern musicals or simply the curious, ‘Bat Boy’ is a production not to be missed. This production is not recommended for anyone under the age of 12. There is one scene that contains sexual innuendo and Bat Boy is a child that has been living in a cave with some strange habits and an appetite for blood that younger children may find frightening.
