THE Family Theatre Festival at the Theatre Royal Bath opens on Saturday, offering two weeks of inspirational theatre from the UK, Spain, France, the Netherlands and Germany for family audiences across the egg theatre, the Ustinov Studio and the Main House.
The Queen’s Knickers will receive its world premiere at the Ustinov Studio from Monday. Based on the much-loved children’s book by Nicholas Allan, this new theatrical adaption for children aged three and over is being staged by the egg’s own production team in association with London’s Southbank Centre.
In the Main House the UK premiere of Prime is on Sunday. This hit play by Theater Artemis, one of the Netherlands’ leading theatre companies, is highly recommended for both teenagers and adults.
At the start of the Festival, The Big Day In offers a range of free daytime events on Sunday. Between 11am-4pm, the range of free events includes backstage tours with some rather unusual ushers, opportunities to get creative in the egg café, a taster of new works by the Young People’s Theatre and a bedtime stories tent for Mums and Dads, tucked up in the rooftop workshop space.
