The Keeper of the Fairytales

4 Jun 2026 - 6 Jun 2026

Step into a world where stories come alive and legends are turned upside down! The Keeper of the Fairytales is a hilarious new play for all ages, bursting with heart, humour, and a dash of chaos. Join the Keeper, the guardian of all fairy tales, and her delightfully daft assistant, Bonkers, as disaster strikes in their enchanted library. When Bonkers clumsily drops the ancient book of fairytales, beloved heroes and villains are flung into each other's worlds. The Keeper and Bonkers must travel to Fairytale Land to put things right. But trouble is brewing. The notorious Big Bad Wolf takes advantage of the pandemonium, rallying the fairy tale characters to rebel and rewrite their own endings. With the Wolf stirring up rebellion, can the Keeper and Bonkers restore order before our favourite stories are lost forever? Please note that there are two casts performing this play on different nights. If you are coming to see a particluar student, do double check the performance they will be appearing in before booking.
Exhibition on Screen: Frida Kahlo

Exhibition on Screen: Frida Kahlo

15 May 2026 - 6 Jul 2026

This highly engaging film takes us on a journey through the life of one of the most prevalent female icons: Frida Kahlo. She was a prolific self-portraitist, using the canvas as a mirror through all stages of her turbulent and, at times, tragic life. Guided with interview, commentary and Frida’s own words, Exhibition on Screen uncovers that this, however, was not a life defined by tragedy. "Seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo..." Featuring key exhibitions and interviews with world renowned Kahlo curators, this film explores the extraordinary symbolism and themes in these personal canvases to seek a deeper understanding of the real Frida Kahlo. Using cinema to take an up-close and intimate look at her works we examine how great an artist she can be considered. Displaying a treasure trove of colour and a feast of vibrancy on screen, this personal and intimate film offers privileged access to her works and highlights the source of her feverish creativity, her resilience and her unmatched lust for life, men, women, politics and her cultural heritage. We might think we already know Frida Kahlo – the image of floral crowns, big brows and folk style clothing have made her a muse to generations – but what lies beneath the surface of this intensely passionate woman?
