The Easter school holidays will be in full swing at the beginning of April and Cornerstone has a wonderfully varied and fun selection of activities and workshops to keep children and families busy and engaged. On Friday 8 April, for example, there’s an exciting opportunity for 7 to 13 year olds to work hands-on with iPads, iMacs and Apps to create and animate wild and wonderful creatures in Animation: Amazon Adventure! Please see our website (details below) for information about all the holiday activities available.
Jill Tomlinson’s best-selling children’s classic, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, comes to Cornerstone on Sunday 17 April. Perfect for children and families, and adapted for the stage by Blunderbus, the story of Plop the baby barn owl is brought to life with an irresistible blend of music, puppetry and storytelling.
Theatre strictly for the grown-ups in Harold Pinter’s first major work, The Birthday Party on Saturday 30 April. Set in a shabby boarding house in an English seaside town an impromptu and seemingly innocent birthday party abruptly turns into a deadly game of cat and mouse, with horrifying repercussions. Presented by London Classic Theatre and directed by Michael Cabot.
On a lighter note, how about some comedy to get you giggling? Rory McGrath‘s Bridge Over Troubled Lager went down a storm at Cornerstone in September 2014. He returns, and looks back at his career, on Friday 22 April – brace yourselves for adult themes! Gyles Brandreth’s Word Power offers his finely tuned treatise on how to find the right words to get the right results on Saturday 2 April. Award-winning writer and performer Rob Auton’s The Water Show is a comedy/theatre/talking show about water, suitable for anyone who’s seen, heard, touched, used or drunk water! Don’t miss him on Friday 29 April.
