Frankenstein (On A Budget)
by Lamphouse Theatre
One man, one monster, one glorious dream to singlehandedly tell the most famous cult horror story of all time, and absolutely no budget whatsoever. What could possibly go wrong?
Frankenstein (On a Budget) features one actor, some decidedly dodgy backdrops, lots of weather based puns, plenty of cardboard props and more hats than you can throw a stick at. Can our ill fated doctor build his monstrous creation, play 25 characters, sing a lot of songs, attempt accents from across the world, perform a dance routine, and ultimately save the day in just 60 minutes?
From the creators of the hit comedy action adventure musical War of the Worlds (On a Budget),
Featuring a full soundtrack of brand new music, with incredible cardboard creations and characters inspired by Mary Shelley and Boris Karloff, Frankenstein (On a Budget) is the comedy musical hammer horror homage that you didn’t know you needed.

Sanctuary
brought to you by Red Ladder Theatre Company in collaboration with Theatre Royal Wakefield & CAPA College
About The Performance
Traditionally, churches across the world have offered sanctuary to those seeking safety from persecution. But how do we react when that ideal becomes a reality?
When Alland, a young Iranian man, begs to be given sanctuary at St Mary’s church in a northern town, it sparks a community to react in all the ways each member believes to be right. Molly, a young worker there, joins forces with vicar Fiona to resist both the angry vigilantes and the hard-hearted authorities beyond the church walls to try to protect Alland.
Holding a special community service where voices on all sides sing their songs of redemption and condemnation, Fiona asks the question to everyone present: do we give Alland over to the State or live up to our well-versed ideals of compassion?
‘Sanctuary’ is a brand-new musical that welcomes us in and asks the question: do we want safety and freedom for only ourselves, or for us all? A vital story of one man’s hopes for help and support in a time when not all strangers are welcomed.
With a chorus drawn from students at Wakefield’s CAPA College, Boff Whalley ('We’re Not Going Back') and Sarah Woods’ musical mixes hard-hitting ideas with memorable melodic tunes and harmonies.
Come on in – the Service is about to begin…

The Watsons
By Laura Wade
Directed by Shanaya and Lizzie
Based on Laura Wades novel, Oundle School pupils bring life to this witty and entertaining play.
Emma Watson has been enjoying a privileged upbringing with a rich aunt but has been unexpectedly dumped back with her genteel but impoverished family to enter the race to find potential suitors to secure some sort of happy ending. So far, very familiar but this story has a twist – it doesn’t have an ending
Laura Wade’s bold and playful adaptation of Austen’s unfinished novel has the capacity to endlessly surprise its audience.
Sit back and enjoy watching the story unfurl.

The Crucible
By Arthur Miller
Fear and hysteria grip a feuding community and the battle between innocence and guilt exposes the very darkest corners of human nature.
When a group of young girls are discovered dancing and chanting in the forest, they are accused of witchcraft. With the threat of execution hanging over them, the girls draw the people of the town into a world of secrets, lies and manipulation where the only goal is self-preservation and private vendettas fuel public accusations. Soon the truth itself is on trial.
Arthur Miller’s gripping parable of power and is performed by a talented young cast from Oundle School and directed by Naomi Baker.
