November Club: Open Fund for Organisations
Inspired by folklore and fairy tales, November Club’s new show engages a family audience (8ys +) in a quest to find what makes Northumberland special. Featuring a new musical commission by Katie Doherty, alongside puppetry, strong visual theatre and unconventional storytelling, the performance takes an affectionate, humorous look at who we are. There is music, there is magic, there are strange and wonderful creatures, there is – you!
Written by Fiona Ellis; Original music by Katie Doherty; Directed by Cinzia Hardy & Hannah Fox with Design and Puppetry by Hannah Fox.
