After 8hrs rehearsing "Hound of the Baskervilles" in a hot barn the Lemmings loose the plot.

Only two weeks till the next Smallest Theatre show hits the streets, so a big thank you to Mark Tillotson for directing our 'Coalition of Creative Chaos' or in other words, the lemmings rehearsals!

20/05/2017

Work is underway on the Hound of the Baskervilles and brilliant to have Mark Tillotson, in to direct next week.

So strange; the last performance of a well honed show ~ probably the last performance of Kong took place today in Germany. One member of the audience posted, "I have not laughed so much". A brief moment of sadness before moving on to the next creation ~ Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles.

It's only April but we have so much news that we've gone and written a newsletter. We like to keep you in the loop you see...

After ten years of producing The Harwich Children’s Carnival, we have decided to reinvent the wheel and produce a new community celebration ~ Festival of Imagination ~ a mini theatre, dance, arts festival for local schools in Harwich. This project wouldn’t happen without the generous financial suppo...

in the script "What's an ugly girl like you doing on a beautiful ship like this?" then our audience in the picture below pipe up, "she's not ugly!". Fantastic audiences in Germany. Thank you!

OK so there might be just a little bit of slapstick in the show! (East Bergholt Monday)

Great review of today (Sunday's show) and tomorrow East Bergholt. "And so to Rowhedge Village Hall, and what a delectable entertainment you served us all up with. What a treat - watching the kids wide eyed and then realising that we grown up kids were, too. Here's to you, Lemmings and the splendid Indian story show too. Salad."

Quote of the season;
"I have the original King Kong on DVD and the 1976 film on DVD, I've watched the 2005 film version, but your (Smallest Theatre) version is the BEST". From an audience member at Beyond the Border storytelling festival and he had watched the show twice. And another family watched the same show four times! Well done Cassie Catchpole and Rose Lucas

As part of the editing process on the film of the Smallest Theatre's Indian adventure and days of watching video diaries and making transcripts, I came across this random photo I took.

A perfect premier for the Smallest Theatre's production of the 'Tempest' at 'Beyond the Border' storytelling festival, this summer.

Yippee, the new year kicks off with two great bookings for the Smallest Theatre at Waddesdon Manor and Morecambe Variety Festival.

07/01/2016

2015 was certainly a good year!

What a year 2015 was - so much thanks to everyone who made it all possible! Onwards and upwards and sidewards into 2016!

A big welcome to the Lemmings new "Head of creativity, forward-thinkingness and cosmic enhancement". Cassie Catchpole is hoping to shake up the Lemmings quite a bit this year. She will be working alongside Mandy at Lemmings HQ. Dave will be doing a bit more sailing (or so he hopes).

What does it feel like to be inside the Smallest Theatre? Thank you to Marten Ascheraden for these photos taken in Hamburg.

Time out from the last Smallest Theatre booking of the summer and a glorious day at City Diversions.

Our first visit to Goodwood Revival thanks to Royal Enfield's sponsorship. A great weekend out for Kong!

02/09/2015

It is going to be an interesting weekend with the Kong show in Peterborough at the Vivacity festival. The whole show has to be re-jigged to accommodate Dave's broken ribs ~ don't ask!

05/08/2015

And next stop Hamburg for the Smallest Theatre for a return visit with the 'King Kong' show.

12/07/2015

Shrinking Kong! At 5' 4" Rose is our smallest Kong ever, but well done for stepping in at the last minute at the Mouth of the Tyne festival. And a 'High Five' from the audience afterwards!
