seating will be removed and revolved to create a stage in the middle
of the stalls, giving the venue more intimacy and enabling the audience
to sit on all sides of the action and interact with performers.
The

the legendary Stanley Holloway. Cosmethika's Dave Sealey takes on

and songs will be revisited, and Dave even takes a look at Stanley's

With Tails |
On
Wednesday 13th July at 11.30am, there's a post SATS treat for children

and Network of Stuff present Them With Tails. Them With Tails will
create a world where stories, comedy and a lot of silliness come
together in a place where your most ridiculous thoughts can come
to life. Three stories from around the world and one created live
from audience suggestions means it's never the same show twice!
