Hello, and welcome to the Rag Factory!
We're working hard on what our future programme can look like in light of Covid-19. Please check back for updates.
Past Performances Include:
Theatre Loves Company presents...
"A CONSTELLATION OF LONE STARS"
One night, Under the Texan Sky...
An Unforgettable Comedy in Two Short Acts.
Deep deep deep in the dirty heart of Texas, a constellation of lone star revelers hang over Maynard, saturated in long lost tales, a lot of moonshine.... looking towards a future unknown.
Join us for a night to remember on the rough, wild, open plains of Texas.
Three women simmer in the relentless sun over back porch gossip and many strong Bourbon highballs.
Three men kick back in a dusty saloon bar drinking, fighting and celebrating past conquests.
Will these lone stars find each other again?
Will anyone walk out of here unscathed and sober? Who knows?
Come and find out....
We promise you are in for a TEXAN NIGHT TO REMEMBER! YEEEEE HAAAAHHHHH!!!
Ps: Drinks on us!
The Little Prince.
I should have liked to begin this story in the fashion of the fairy-tales. I should have like to say: "Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet that was scarcely any bigger than himself, and who had need of a sheep . . ."
It has been many years since the Pilot parted with the Little Prince, and the time has come to share his story. Find your way into the Making Space, and help him to remember... An interactive performance-workshop in which the audience playfully helps the company construct the story with puppets, live music, and shadows. Your suggestions create the play.
Lux & Vox is a theatre company who create theatrical playgrounds in which children and adults of all ages can rediscover play.
