What's On in February
Muttnik is a stray who lives on the streets of Moscow, cold and hungry, until one day... she is captured.
To her surprise, she finds herself in a new home with food, water, and adventures better than her dreams... she lives at the Russian Space centre, and is to become the first dog in space! She flies rockets; dances in zero gravity; and goes where no dog has gone before!
What will be her first message home? And what will it be like to dig holes on the moon?Told with dance, music, and puppetry.
Recommended for Ages 3+

Themes of masquerade give the work a playful, yet ominous feel. Significant locations in and around the home add depth to the work and, using the distance of the camera, Julie produces evocative photographic ...read more

When three cleaners, Olive, Gladys and Elsie, are threatened with redundancy, they feel their lives are coming to an end. That is, until a chance new number gives them a new business start-up idea - why not run a sex telephone line?
They've got motive, opportunity and a lifetime of experience - some more than others.
As long as Elsie can teach the other two a few new tricks there's no reason why they can't get rich quick, providing they keep the operation a secret from their bosses...and their husbands...and their children...and their grandchildren.
By Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood, directed by Phil Shepherd.
