Les Enfant Terribles Presents
THE TERRIBLE INFANTS
Devised By Les Enfants Terribles

A multi-award winning show based upon a series of twisted tales by Oliver Lansley and illustrator/desiner Sam Wyer. ‘The Terrible Infants’ blends puppetry, live music, story-telling and physicality into a highly sensory theatrical feast suitable for big kids and small grown-ups featuring narration by Dame Judi Dench. Meet Tumb, the boy who eats his mum, Thingummyboy with a face even his mother forgets, Little Linena the material girl, Manky Mingus and of course little Tilly and her terrible tales. Roald Dahl meets Tim Burton in this hugely theatrical, scary, funny, sad, silly, dark, delicious, musical, magical performance.

Havant Arts Centre is in receipt of 70 fantastic donated pieces of art for it’s forthcoming Art & Wine Party. The quality of work this year is very impressive and all of the artworks have been donated by local artists including artists such as Pippa Blake and Geoff Catlow. All of the art will go on show in the Main Gallery two weeks prior to the party. An online exhibition of the donated artworks is expected soon after installation. The proceeds this year will go towards lighting the final sculpture, which completes the Courtyard Development Project in memory of Paul Sadler.

The Art & Wine Party will take place on Saturday 29th March at 8pm.

THE JUNIPER TREE

It is a harsh winter, too cold for a boy to be sent out alone on an errand.
"Where is my child, where is my only son?" the desperate father had whispered to a little bird sitting in the boughs of the juniper tree… Forgotten and ignored for many a winter, the juniper tree has sat and watched strange, terrible things happen. But beneath its knotted bark something is stirring and a tale that has been hidden for centuries is ready to blossom.

The Juniper Tree is an exciting fairytale which retells the Brothers Grimm fairytale for adults and brave children aged seven and up.

Goat and Monkey, one of the UK’s most exciting new theatre companies, will transform the gallery into an enchanted wood, adding music, light and sound for a full sensory experience.

With villains to hate and heroes to love, chases, dances and fights are all brought to life in big wigs and glorious costumes.
Goat and Monkey create a world of adventure, peril, magic trees, evil stepmothers, singing birds and enduring love.
