Back to BATS!!

After a week of sets, lights and drama Young and Hungry is nearly ready to be unleashed on the world! Despite the fact the one of the directors is currently in hospital giving birth, the show(s) will well and truly go on - and they are looking pretty great. The opening night on Friday night is booked out, so make sure you get in for a performance later in the season - tickets are going fast!

Meanwhile in the Pit Bar a little mid-winter treat is being put together - Half an Hour in Heaven Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is a "well-fed alternative" to Young and Hungry, and is another of our popular shows where you pay what you think it's worth after the show. No risk theatre! Check it out from next Thursday, details below. Surely a prize for the longest show title of the year...?

And we are bouncing back into action after a few days of maintenance - some fresh paint works wonders! Keep your eyes peeled for details of how you can help out during our major maintenance week coming up in August!

See you at the theatre!
