A MUSICAL for young children will be staged at the Majestic in Darlington next week as the new management company seeks to grow audiences.
The Bondgate venue will be the setting for The Giant's Loo Roll, an imaginative costumed performance with comedy and singalongs by TaleGate Theatre.
It is the company's second adaptation of a Nicholas Allan book following another favourite story for young children, Father Christmas Needs a Wee.
The plot tells what happens when the Giant’s loo roll goes bouncing down the hill straight towards the townsfolk. Luckily they find lots of uses for it – to provide a canvas for an artist, in a tailor's shop, to restart a paper mill and for pupils to craft into a huge dart.
Performed by a company of two, the show boasts an enormous inflatable loo roll, frightened sheep, catchy songs and slapstick. It will be staged at the Majestic on Thursday, July 26. Doors open at 1.30pm for the show at 2pm.
Tickets cost from £10 to £12; groups £38.
