Vamos Theatre Production
Offal Tales: Stories of the Worcester Cattle Market
Venue: The Hive, Sawmill Walk, The Butts, Worcester, WR1 3PB
Dates: Friday 6th and Saturday 7th July 2012
Times: 5pm & 7:30pm on both days
To celebrate the opening of The Hive, Vamos Theatre presents a special promenade performance. Staged throughout the new building, this full mask show will be an evocative mix of history and hilarity, telling stories of the people and places of Worcester's cattle market, where The Hive now stands. Expect mask and puppets, music, singing pigs and dancing cows! The show is suitable for family audiences, and there is wheelchair access.
Due to the huge demand there are now only a few tickets left for the 7:30 Friday show. All the other shows have now sold out. Tickets are free and the only way to get a ticket is to email Worcestershire County Council at artsenquiries@worcestershire.gov.uk
