Jay Foreman’s Disgusting Songs For Revolting Children 4****

What a great experience this was! The show is performed in the Pleasance Green, and to date I have yet to find venues more centred upon children than the Pleasance, so as you arrive, the bigger children(grown ups) are sat … Read More

Based upon the book by James Mayhew, this is a delightful and thoroughly entertaining musical performance. The cast are engaging and appealing and keep the audience enthralled throughout the entire performance. The story is that of a young girl visiting … Read More
