SUMMER 2024
THE TALE OF JEMIMA PUDDLEDUCK
Not being allowed to hatch her eggs at the farm, foolish Jemima goes in search of a nesting place in the forest, and soon she meets a charming ‘gentleman’ who offers her the perfect nesting place in his wood-shed.
But why is his wood-shed full of feathers and why is he asking her to collect the herbs for roast duck?
Back at the farm, the Collie-dog, Kep, puts two and two together, but will he be in time to rescue Jemima from her fate?
Following the success of our adaptation of The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, Quantum Theatre turns to another Beatrix Potter classic to bring you a brand new show for summer 2024.

CLASSIC CHRISTMAS PLAYS FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS
Every year, we perform our own adaptations of classic Christmas stories into Primary Schools.
Michael Whitmore adapts each play directly from the original text, producing faithful re-tellings of much loved Christmas classics and Gideon Escott writes and arranges the music for each show.
In the Autumn Term we are touring The Snow Queen which can be booked to come into school for a performance. We always come with a full set, lights, costumes and music to create a truly theatrical and magical experience for all.
