Presented by Redcape Theatre.
March 2020. Kit is a dynamic single mother. Her world suddenly shrinks.
Staying at home to save lives means a retreat back to the role of mother and home-maker. With the walls closing in, the garage and 2 wheels become her sanctuary...
On Track is a new play drawing on true stories and using RedCape’s trademark blend of comedy and visual, physical theatre. The audience follow Kit’s journey of discovery through the shocking history of women’s cycling. Riding at night, disguised as men, these cycling pioneers powered over Victorian ideals of the genteel, house-bound woman and opened up new worlds.
Exploring the effects of isolation on mental health and showing how a simple bicycle can become a vehicle to freedom once again. On Track will inspire you to pump up your tyres and ride out on a new adventure too.

Presented by Smoking Apples.
Escaping on a Kindertransport train, one small Czech-Jewish girl embarks on a
mighty adventure.
Crossing between the past and present, Babi travels across Europe; from bon bons in Germany to the smell of the sea in Margate, she discovers how tiny acts of kindness can change the course of a person’s life.
Joyful, moving and poignant, Kinder features beautiful table top puppetry and
cinematic shadow play. Babi tries to assemble the parts of her broken identity, to find peace in her future.
Kinder is a multi-award winning show, from puppetry and visual theatre company Smoking Apples. Inviting you to take a seat inside an immersive set, the story unfolds through a series of playful hatches and openings.
Kinder has been designed to be accessible for neurodivergent audiences. In the space, we will be providing stims (stimulatory accessories) and active responses to the show are encouraged. Audiences will be able to leave and re-enter the show, at any time and there will be a chill out area (with bean bags, ear defenders and more stims) for periods of regulation. An inclusive resource pack is available on Smoking Apples website, in advance and includes a social story. This can be downloaded here.
