The Shop of Little Horrors

Friday 12th September

7.45pm - Tickets: £9.50

Grimlake’s Emporium of Novelties, where corny magic tricks and strange puppets collect dust. Albert Grimlake is a man obsessed with ventriloquist dummies – each face lovingly crafted and bearing an uncanny resemblance to friends and family long gone.

But Grimlake is growing old. Time is running out to find a successor, someone to breathe life into his creations, someone who shares his peculiar passion for puppets… Enter Eric: The Perfect Applicant. He’s young, loves The Muppets and is eager to learn. The Shop of Little Horrors is a dark and twisted show with a wicked sense of humour, featuring a macabre collection of characters. Recommended for ages 12+.

Concert for a Cause

Friday 26th September 7.45 pm - Tickets: £7.50

Raising money for the Rosie Rainbow Fund and the Dalit Children’s Charity com e s a n all-singing, all-dancing evening of the most popular, new and adored musical theatre songs that will be a testament to Oundle School’s many outstanding performance talents. With songs ranging from the splendour of Matilda and the audacity of The Book of Mormon to the beautiful Once and spellbinding Wicked, this one-off, funfilled show is a must-see production conceived and directed by pupils, Molly-May Keston and Sarah Boyle in aid of two very worthy causes.

Forty Years On by Alan Bennett

Wednesday 8th & Thursday 9th October, 7.45 pm - Tickets: £5

Set in an all-boys English public school, Albion House, Alan Bennett’s great and much-loved first work for the stage is part play and part revue. As the Headmaster on the eve of his retirement tries to keep control of proceedings, the play wanders off into ribald comedy, noisy songs and touching nostalgia.  A hilarious meditation on the past and the decline of authority, Forty Years On continues to delight with its quirky wit and its razor-sharp observations. An Oundle School Production performed by the boys of Bramston House under the direction of pupil Francesco Loy Bell.

Sweeney Todd by C G Bond

Thursday 30th & Friday 31st October 7.45 pm - Tickets: £5

The classic melodrama finds Sweeney Todd returning from deportation on a false charge to avenge his wife and daughter who have both suffered at the merciless hands of the Judge. Teaming up with Mrs Lovett, the pie-maker, Sweeney opens his barber shop and starts to wreak his terrible revenge … A talented cast from Laundimer House, under the direction of pupil, George Smale, brings this dark and gripping tale of murder and love to the stage in a razor-sharp new Oundle School production.
