Family Matters
Mornings in the Taylor household are anything but calm. Five kids, one overwhelmed mum, a runaway guinea pig, forgotten homework, missing lunchboxes… and that’s just before 9am.
But when elderly parents, long-held secrets, and shifting loyalties enter the mix, the chaos becomes more than just domestic comedy.
Funny, fast-paced, and painfully relatable, Family Matters is a warm and witty look at modern family life — from teenage eye-rolls to ageing parents who suddenly need parenting of their own.
Written by Juliet Devon and Directed by Tanya Press.

Hansel & Gretel - The Pantomime
Laughter is high on the agenda with some unusual comedy routines, together with plenty of adventure, variety and traditional panto fun.

Meanwhile, the comic twosome, Nut-Meg and Basil, add to the turmoil when they try to sell all sorts of foolish food and fake fare foraged from the forest!
