Alice and Michael Kentish have turned the rear of their 17‑year‑old shop into a space for over 30 works by Nathalie Dehaye, with new displays planned each month.
The centrepiece of the season is '12 Days', a new family production inspired by the traditional 'Twelve Days of Christmas'. This original adventure, running from November 18 to January 9, follows five children on a quest through a magical world. The production is brought to life by over 200 performers and explores themes of empathy, courage, and belonging, according to Chickenshed.
Adding to the line-up, entertainer Rory Bremner, a long-time ambassador for Chickenshed, will perform in November. His appearance will feature an evening of comedy, conversation, and impressions. The theatre also announced other musical acts and community productions as part of its diverse programme.
