COMEDY: STAND UP
Following his sell-out
nationwide tour, The
Manifesto, Mark returns
with his brand new show.
Never one to take the easy
option, Mark decided to go
rambling in the Middle East
and walked the entire length
of the Israeli Separation
Barrier crossing between the
Israeli and Palestinian sides.
Expect Mark’s sharp political
commentary and dry take on
the world as he asks ‘Can you
ever get away from it all with
a good walk?’

and envy, Macbeth ferociously
seizes the throne. But violence

born in blood quickly spirals
out of control as Macbeth’s past
actions return to destroy him.

These are the most successful
classical crossover artists ever
to come out of Ireland. Signed
on the spot to an international
record deal following an
impromptu audition in 2000,
they soon became the talk
of the music industry. Fusing
classical, folk, Irish and pop
music, these guys’ voices bring
their own distinctive charms
and meld together perfectly.
Singing everything from Eric
Clapton to Ennio Morricone,
their fifth album is a collection
of songs from North America,
re-inventing the whole tenor
idiom and bringing charm, wit,
vitality and a bit of ‘cool’ to a
superb stage show.

Tall Stories presents
THE SNOW DRAGONTHEATRE: CHILDREN’S
Based on the story by Toby
Mitchell, this fabulous show is
by the company that brought
us The Gruffalo.
The night of the snow dragon
approaches and Billy has
everything a young goat
could want. His parents tell
him to pick berries to leave
out for the Snow Dragon so
that it will bring him lots of
fantastic presents. But it’s hard
work and Billy finds it much
easier to ‘borrow’ from his
friends. As a result, New Year’s
Eve does not turn out quite
how he expected.
High-energy songs and a
mysterious Snow Dragon
created by The National
Theatre’s His Dark Materials
puppeteer.
