Open Clasp Theatre Company presents
Rattle & Roll

Thursday 11 March
7.30pm
Tickets £8.50 / £6 (conc)
Open Clasp return with their unique mix of outrageous
comedy and thought-provoking drama.
Four women are trying to jump track. A new name, street
and a settee mean a new start, a way out, and a past left
behind. However a missing wheelie bin, a broken promise and
mother’s day throw the women back on familiar ground, but
this time they are on a collision course with a runaway
train. Addressing issues including sexual exploitation,
adoption and homelessness; Rattle & Roll is a story about
chaos, the order behind it, and the strengths of those women
trying to survive it.

Oscar Wilde’s
The Selfish Giant

Tuesday 30 March + Wednesday 31 March
10.30am + 1.30pm
Tickets £4
(1 free teacher for every 10 pupils)
The Selfish Giant owns a beautiful garden, in which
children love to play. One day he takes offence at the
children, and builds a wall to keep them out. Because of
this, the garden is condemned to perpetual winter and the
Selfish Giant’s only visitors are Lady Snow and her friends.
One morning he hears the most beautiful music coming from
his bedroom window and is delighted with the sight that
greets him. Set in a magnificent steel sculpted garden, the
story is told using beautifully crafted puppets, a brilliant
musical sound track and superb storytelling.

Ashes Of
Iron

Calcius Repton

Sunderland five-piece Ashes Of Iron are good honest rockers with a real
commercial edge, and cite Kyuss, QOTSA and Alice in Chains
as influences. But they’re far more energetic and drive
harder than their stoner rock image would imply.
