Little Is The New Black!
This week we're on a mission to Russia in The Little Tragedies kicking off on Tuesday. There's nothing little about
these tragedies, this one is gonna be massive. Three bite sized wee little stories all in one play. If you are wondering
where have all the spare newspapers in town have gone, come and check out the set. It's a stunner!
Then there is Mr Marmalade opening Thursday.Who exactly is this Mr Marmalade fella you ask? From what I can see he's got
anger management issues, very much addicted to coke and is the imaginary friend of a four year old girl. With lots of
clouds, lots of doors and some cool as clothes to die for, Playtime has never been so much fun!
So there you have it, The Little Tragedies and a little girl's quest for her Imaginary friend at BATS this week. Little
is the New Black.
Love BATSxx
