Motherland Voices with Tsungai Tsikirai
This musical journey is inspired by the sounds of African queens that have graced international stages, on whose shoulders many, including Tsungai Tsikirai stand.
The music brings back childhood memories, of summer nights in her ambuya's (grandmother's) hut with it's thatched roof , warm fire and the smell of roasted corn on the cob. Lullabies were sung by ambuya at night, after a long day at the fields. These lullabies are the sounds of the motherland that have been and are still a part of her journey and ultimately her music. As never seen before, Tsungai brings you the rich African music and dances from her childhood. This is her story.
This event is going to be filmed and photographed.
WHY? Zimbabwean cultural music and dance as prepared and performed by Tsungai Tsikirai and her band
Courtyard Theatre and Livestream

Oldilocks and the 3 Bears
The first of three shows coming to the Norden Farm stage for Christmas 2020.

Join Oldilocks as she sets off for another adventure followed by a scruffy old pigeon. Will she find the bears' house and what will happen then?
A wonderfully funny and warmhearted celebration of the classic story, starring a naughty old lady who looks very familiar… and 3 funny bears who love their breakfast.
Expect to be spellbound by lovingly crafted puppets, music and some steaming bowls of porridge!

Pinocchio
The third in a series of three shows coming to the Norden Farm stage for Christmas 2020.
The objects of a carpenter’s workshop bring to life the tale of the puppet that wants to be a real boy, and the puppet-maker who wants to be a real father. A one man show starring Steve Tiplady, as Geppetto.
Pinocchio is carved on stage, brushes become a fox and the shadow of two saws transforms into a giant shark. An element of improvisation makes each performance unique to its audience.
Puppetry, shadows, illusion and especially composed music combine to create a show with something for all ages; it’s inventive, visually and verbally witty with a big heart.
