The Ramayana
Deep in the forest, Rama & Sita live in exile - eyes watch their every move, and the universe shimmers with illusion. Epic love story, meets comic strip, meets ancient Indian myth, as storyteller Emily Hennessey and virtuoso sitar player Sheema Mukherjee conjure up the vivid, wild and beguiling world of the Ramayana, shot through with bitter rivalry, wild battles, love, loyalty, and cosmic monkeys.
This Is Your Musical
Inspired by stories from the audience, the talented and quick-witted actors will instantly spin a brand-new musical tale, complete with characters, songs and choreography, all accompanied by an amazing improvising musician.

It Is I, Seagull
