However, Annie’s planned break doesn’t happen when it is dicovered that, rather than going away as expected with her neighbour and frequent visitor Tom, she was planning to go with her sister Ruth’s husband Norman.

One of Dickens’s best-loved and most autobiographical stories follows the life of young David from his unhappy childhood to middle age and his discovery of his gift as a storyteller. The novel is brought vibrantly to life in this warm, funny and face-paced adaption, full of his finest characters, including optimist Mr Micawber, the fawning Uriah Heap, the formidable Aunt Betsy Trotwood and the glamorous, spoilt Steerforth.
We are also taking the production down to the Minack Theatre in Cornwall:

JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH
by Roald Dahl, adapted by Richard George
Friday 15 July 2022 at 7.30pm
Saturday 16 July 2022 at 2.30pm and 7.30pm
Tickets on sale now
A magical peach! An imprisoned boy! Insect friends! An incredible journey! This amazing adventure of James Henry Trotter will fulfil the fantasy of anyone who has ever dreamed of escape. Roald Dahl's story comes hilariously to life in this delightful dramatisation that reveals the wickedness of some, the goodness of others, and the indecision encountered by many when they are faced with crises. You will see James (as he cleverly gets the Peach out of danger), the wise Old-Green-Grasshopper and the pessimistic Earthworm. You will also see James' mean Aunt Spiker and cruel Aunt Sponge come to a suitably sticky end. The action is tied together by the Narrator, a storyteller, motivator, MC and audience friend.
