Seussical JR
Seussical Jr takes you into the world of Dr Seuss, where we visit beloved characters such as The Cat in a Hat along with Horizon the Elephant, Gertrude Fuzz, Mayzie La Bird and the Whos, just to name a few.
Come and be transported away to the Jungle of Nool, and the McElligots Pool by the ever-mischievous Cat as they narrate the story of Horton Hears a Who witch with all its twists and turns trials and tribulations.
Through it all we are shown the powers of friendship, loyalty. family and community always emerge triumphant showing us we are never Alone in this Universe.

1812 Theatre
A review: The Housekeeper
A story of a man who hires a housekeeper but! She is not what he thought.
1812 Theatre had a lavish set of a country home lounge with a central staircase, a desk where Manley worked on audience left and audience right there was a lounge suite.
To the rear was a door with windows all around and indeed a marvellous set.
The owner of the house Manley Carstairs was given a superb performance by Paul Wanis.
His voice was cultured as befitted a writer which he was known as.
His acting was very good and some of the scenes with the housekeeper were a pleasure to watch.
The Housekeeper, Annie Duckworth was played by Angela Glennie.
A great contrast to Manley as she was very common, spoke in a common style voice.
She entered looking for a job as housekeeper when we learn that she forged her references and made poor Manley’s life a hell.
A wonderful performance from Angela and a great contrast to Manley.
A wonderful evening of theatre and I could not recommend this play too much.
Showing until 14 June.
