Stuff by Tom Wells
Norden Farm Youth Theatre Academy stage this exciting new play in Norden Farm's Studio theatre as part of National Theatre Connections 2019.
Vinny's organising a surprise birthday party for his mate, Anita. It's not going well: his choice of venue is a bit misguided, Anita's not keen on leaving the house, and everyone else has their own stuff going on. Maybe a surprise party wasn't the best idea?
A play about trying (but not really managing) to help.
There will be another chance to catch the production at the Royal and Derngate Theatre, Northampton on Sunday 7 April.
Directed by Aislinn Hurst.
Led by Troublemaker Theatre Company.

The Bear
From the book by Raymond Briggs
Adapted by Pins and Needles
Ever wondered what it would be like to sit on a polar bear's lap? Or ride on its back? Have you ever tried to give a polar bear a bath, or clear up its poo?
One night when she's fast asleep, Tilly is visited by an enormous bear. It has a big black tongue and a yawn as big as your head. But Tilly's not scared.
The story of a little girl who befriends a mischievous polar bear, this playful, funny and heart-warming tale is one of imagination and growing up.
Featuring inventive design, original music, and magical puppetry.
