Local families urged to secure tickets for “bewitching” children’s show

The Drill will host the Olivier Award-nominated adaptation of the best-selling picture book ‘Room on the Broom’ next week for four spellbinding performances.

Based on Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s classic illustrated story, the performances promise to conjure a quirky and fun-filled experience for kids of all ages.

“Children’s theatre doesn’t come much better than this” – The Stage

Craig Morrow, theatre manager for The Drill, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Tall Stories’ energetic and fun-filled adaptation of this timeless children’s story to Lincoln for what’s set to be four powerhouse performances.

“If your little ones enjoy fantasy, magic and puppets on errant adventures, they’ll simply love this immersive take on one of the UK’s best-loved children’s classics.

“We have a range of performances suited to busy families, ranging from mid-morning to midday and matinee performances, so no matter what your childcare or work schedule, we hope you’ll hop on board and join us next week!”

The plot for this immersive adaptation follows a friendly witch and her cat, who are travelling via broomstick when they pick up some unlikely hitch-hikers: a bounding dog, a shrieking green bird and a dripping wet frog. However, they soon discover that the broomstick is not meant for five…

Families from across Lincoln and the surrounding areas are invited to find out in person next week for a performance which Time Out hails as “undeniably charming. [With] winning performances, jaunty songs and some delightful puppetry… [it’s] a sweet little enchantment.”

North West End UK added: “The show [is] bewitching and fast-paced throughout, which ensure[s] there [is] never a dull moment, alongside the perfectly struck balance between action and song. Room on the Broom [is] children’s theatre at its finest as it takes a special show to keep an auditorium full of very young children captivated.”

Suitable for children ages 3 and up, the 55-minute show kicks off on Wednesday 5th October at 1:30pm, with a further performance at 4:30pm. On Thursday 6th October, showings commence at 10:30am, with a further performance at 1:30pm.

Tickets start from just £13 and the show has no intervals, allowing the little ones to become fully immersed in this fantastic adventure.
