Let There Bee Magic... and Scones!
A new play by Morpeth Performing Arts Academy
Let There Bee Magic... and Scones! is a playful and imaginative new play by Morpeth Performing Arts Academy at The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company. Join us for a whimsical journey following a day in the life of some of Morpeth’s most curious characters. The play reimagines the town of Morpeth, featuring a bee farm, a nail salon bakery, and even a volleyball cafe... but all is not as it seems, as magic stirs and cheese scone monsters lurk! With a vibrant mix of comedy, drag, music, and dance, the show builds to a dazzling cabaret finale, bringing Morpeth’s fantastical world to life in a celebration of community and creativity. Written and performed by artists with learning disabilities and autistic artists, this joyful performance explores ideas of home, belonging, and the connections we share.

Hi, I'm Charlie
A new play by Theatre Royal (Saturday) Performing Arts Academy
Charlie faces barriers — at work, at home, in everyday life. We all face barriers though, don't we? And actually, who really is Charlie?
Written and performed by artists with learning disabilities and autistic artists, Hi, I’m Charlie explores themes of identity, perception, and what it means to feel seen. This original and powerful play is a bold celebration of difference, unity and what it is to be human in the everyday. So, Hi, I'm Charlie...
