Jenny Wren Productions presents
Louisa May Alcott’s

LITTLE WOMEN

One actress. One musician. One enchanting new adaptation.

 “I want to do something splendid, something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead.”

This brand new take on Little Women retains all the charm and spirit of the original novel, with a twist; the four sisters, their family and friends are all played by just one woman.

Holed up in the attic of her Massachusetts home just after the American Civil War, Jo struggles with writer’s block, until the arrival of an old friend helps her to unlock a lifetime of memories. Laugh and cry with Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy in this coming-of-age tale packed with adventure, drama, love and loss.

Jenny Wren Productions (The Hound of the Baskervilles, Emma, Burke and Hare) are thrilled to make a return to live theatre with this highly original play featuring live music.

“Brilliant. Utterly stunning. Mesmerising.” – Cotswold Life.

The Coach House Theatre presents PANTO FAMILY FUN….

MOTHER CHRISTMAS

A Russian themed traditional Christmas story adapted for pantomime by Kirsty Cubberley
Performed by graduating actors from Drama Studio London

MOTHER CHRISTMAS is the tale of Babushka and how she escapes her dreary, weary life of drudgery working for the constantly demanding Baron to find her Christmas spirit. She meets royalty and friendship, love and the gift of Christmas as she travels across Russia.

There are chases and thrills as the story weaves its way, following in the footsteps of the majesties.

Drama Studio London

DSL is a leading training institution for professional actors established over 50 years ago. Its specialist approach involves working with leading arts practitioners to deliver high quality training for the profession by the profession. (www.dramastudiolondon.co.uk)

At Christmas our graduating actors tour pantomimes to our local primary schools, as a cultural offering to our community. This year we want to extend our community reach beyond London and bring our Christmas spirit to the residents of Worcestershire. Our new pantomime, Mother Christmas is written and directed by Kirsty Cubberley who grew up in Worcestershire before training and working as an actor/director.

This is an exciting venture for DSL!  We hope to build a relationship with the community of Malvern, in particular, aspiring  young actors who may wish to pursue professional acting training.

He’s Behind You! Happy Festive season!

Forced to flee his native Bangladesh, eight year-old chess prodigy, Fahim, arrives in Paris with his father. By a stroke of luck, Fahim meets one of France’s top chess coaches, who tutors him and gives him a sense of purpose. The film tells the story of a child who learns to live without his mother and his father, far from home, his roots and his language. It is not only a moving account of the grim realities of a supposedly caring society, but also a heartwarming testimony to a father’s determination, the kindness of strangers, and one small boy’s courageous will to succeed.

A replacement teacher arrives for a class of elite students after their previous professeur committed suicide. The substitute soon notices the strangely violent behaviour of this close-knit group of six. Unusually smart and precocious, the teens are intent on cutting themselves off from the rest of the school, engaging in activities that resemble the creepy rituals of a sect, spreading hostility and fear across the school. Soon, the teacher discovers their dark vision of a doomed future and their contempt towards the powerless adults who can no longer protect them.

Mélanie Prouvost, a ten-year-old butcher’s daughter, is a gifted pianist, which is why her parents decide that she should sit for the Conservatoire entrance exam. Although it is expected that Mélanie will be admitted, she unfortunately gets distracted by the president of the jury’s offhand attitude and she fails. Ten years later, Mélanie becomes the page turner for the same woman and waits for a revenge opportunity.
