5 Children & It

The five children – Cyril, Anthea, Robert, Jane, and their baby brother, known as the Lamb – are playing in a gravel pit one morning when they uncover a rather grumpy and sometimes tricky Psammead, a sand-fairy with the ability to grant wishes.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Wednesday 28th August – 7 pm
On 28th August ‘This is My Theatre’ is performing Shakespeare’s classic ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. The woods outside Athens are busy this night. Four young Athenian lovers are lost. Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairy-folk, are quarrelling whilst a group of craftsmen (who also happen to be some not-so-very-talented actors) are meeting in secret to rehearse their play.
