THE MUSEUM OF MARVELLOUS THINGS

Welcome to The Museum of Marvellous Things, where the impossible can happen!

Discover stars in jars, catch moons like balloons, dance with Doo-Dahs in cages, sing with Noo-Nahs on stages. Because this is a museum like no other – it’s made from the magic of YOUR imagination – and you get to bring it alive.

With giant puppets, magical effects, interactive storytelling, LIVE original music and a chance to make your own special puppet, this is a fun-filled family show based on the picture book by Kristina Stephenson (creator of Sir Charlie Stinky Socks).

Meet sensible, serious Norbert Norris and wild, wonderful Tilly T. Pott, as they give you a sneak peek inside their amazing museum and ask YOU to fill it with MAGIC!

So…come on in, let the MAGIC BEGIN!

Can’t Wait to Leave

Meet Ryan.

19 (but young for his age).
School drop-out (but smart).
Turkey sandwich enthusiast (365 days a year).
Absolute stunner (no addendum).

He's new in town, and all he wants to do is check out. The hard part is coming up with an exit plan.

When the one person he thought he could rely on ups and leaves, Ryan finds himself adrift in a city he still hasn’t learned to like, looking for direction. Six months to kill, no money, no rules… surely this is the worst possible time to be alone?

Tickets are on sale now, and all proceeds will go towards covering the show’s production costs ahead of its world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer. 

So grab a ticket, grab a drink (or two!) from our in-house bar, and get ready for an evening of explosive theatre.
