Poor Mother Goose’s fortunes change when she meets the magical Priscilla, the goose that lays golden eggs! But when Priscilla is stolen away, Mother Goose and her son Jack embark on an adventure (or wild goose chase!) to rescue her, with a little help from their friends and you of course!

People will be FLOCKing to see it, so book early!

Relaxed performances are specially designed to provide a supportive environment for children and adults with learning difficulties, special needs or Autistic Spectrum Condition. The performances are open to everyone but will be particularly suited to these groups.

What happens at Relaxed performances?

  • Audience members may leave or re-join the performance at any time and staff will be on hand to help out.
  • A visual story can be downloaded in advance (see below) to explain what to expect from the performance and how to find your way around the theatre.
  • There will be a chill-out area set aside for those who need time out from the performance.

The pantomime is family-friendly and traditional in format with a hero, a villain, a dame and lots of music and audience participation.

The running time will be approximately 2 hours with an interval of 15-20 minutes after one hour.
