📖✨ A Tale is About to Be Spun at The 1812 Theatre… ✨📖
Need something magical to entertain the children during the school holidays…?
Gather round, dear friends, for a whimsical adventure is about to unfold on our stage!
From 29 June to 5 July, at 10:30am and 1:30pm each day, The 1812 Theatre proudly presents Rumpelstiltskin, a delightful pantomime written by Chris Hodson—full of mischief, magic, and just a pinch of mayhem.
🌟 Meet Our Storytellers! Every great fairy tale needs a guiding voice, and ours comes from the wonderful Susan Collier, stepping into the role of the Narrator. With warmth and sparkle, she’ll lead you through forests, castles, and curious twists of fate.
But beware… for in the shadows lurks a certain mysterious trickster. 🌀 Enter James Anderson as Rumpelstiltskin—mischievous, cunning, and ready to spin trouble (and maybe a little gold) wherever he goes.
Bring your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and anyone young at heart. Expect laughter, surprises, and a story that dances right off the page and onto the stage.
🎭✨ Let the magic begin… ✨🎭

🎭The Lady Killers is about to enter its 3rd week🎭
Don’t miss this classic British dark comedy where nothing seems to go to plan for a gang of hopeless criminals posing as a string quintet.
Their “perfect heist” quickly unravels into symphony of chaos, and the only person standing in their way is the sweet but unshakeable London widow, Mrs Wilberforce – indeed a force to be reckoned with.
The Ladykillers brings you:
🎻 A “string quintet” that can’t play a song
💼 A heist plan that unravels faster than a knitted scarf
👵 One determined little old lady who refuses to be fooled
It’s charming, chaotic, and irresistibly British — the perfect night out.
📍 Now playing at The 1812 Theatre come for the comedy, stay for the music..!!

🎩 The criminal chaos rolls on… Week Two has arrived!
The Ladykillers is back on stage for another round of beautifully bungled brilliance.
Our favourite band of “musicians” is still hard at work perfecting their most questionable performance yet — a heist disguised as a string quartet rehearsal. Meanwhile, Mrs Wilberforce continues to offer tea, kindness, and an accidental masterclass in outwitting criminals.
If you’re craving sharp British humour, eccentric characters, and a story that spirals into glorious, theatrical mayhem, this one’s for you.

🎭Opening night🎭 of The Ladykillers saw the curtain open on the heist of the century... well maybe it would have been if it had gone to plan…
Anyway, we managed to capture some photo’s as evidence.
Step into a world of classic British comedy where nothing goes to plan — especially for a gang of hopeless criminals posing as a string quintet. Their “perfect heist” quickly unravels into glorious chaos, and the only person standing in their way is the sweetest, most unshakeable widow in London.
The result? A comedy caper packed with sharp timing, eccentric characters, and escalating mayhem that is packed with laughs. 🎻
