Description
Spontaneous Productions launches its Spring season for families with its most original and inventive musical theatre show yet! As always, expect the unexpected, as two classic fairy tales are given the usual Spontaneous twist – featuring original songs, delightful dance routines, comic chases and amazing video effects!
You think you know the fairy tale? – bedraggled girl at the castle gates, a pile of mattresses as high as the ceiling, and a certain small, green pea…Well in this version, it’s time to hear exactly what happened that night, and why the Pea is so keen to tell his side of the story!
Notorious Turnip
Is there any such thing as TOO MUCH fertiliser? When a Farmer and his Wife use a new miracle plant food on their field, they’re shocked to discover just how enormously a turnip can grow. Getting it out of the ground is the first challenge, but what happens when your prize turnip decides it wants a life of its own?
Please note that the show runs twice daily at weekends at 2pm & 3.30pm (performances last approx 40 mins) and is suitable for ALL AGES.
Show dates: Sat 15 March to Sun 30 March (shows every Sat & Sun). Advance booking recommended!

What families are saying
Firstly my only complaint (if I can call it that) was that the play is short, only 30 mins. But, considering that it was free and the amount of performances that were churned out in the day I haven't taken a star away and still given it full marks. Short it may be but it's packed with fun, great songs and good performances, the kids and my daughter loved it and were some cleverly veiled and delivered jokes for the adults. I really didn't expect anything as it was a free play. There are elements of " the play that goes wrong" in it and the cast seemed liked they were having a great time so it made it even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be going to see anything that they do in future and look forward to the next performance that was mentioned coming next year. I'll be buying my ticket as soon as they are out.
