Big Goldilocks wanders off from her parents into the forest but soon gets lost, getting hungry, grumpy and tired. The forest animals decide to escape before she gets even more grumpy on an Animal Rescue Centre (ARC) which flies high throughout the skies! Goldilocks arrives at the Three Bears house for a big bowl of cereal but soon it’s up to the audience to help scare her away…

Everything is in disguise and the story goes into the skies with this comical retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This comical story is retold through a massive 6ft tall book complete with pop ups and props coming out of the book!

EK Rep Theatre Club (Registered Scottish Charity SC020852) presents Educating Rita, by Willy Russell. Directed by Jean Macmillan and Susan Hunt.

Frank is a tutor of English in his fifties whose disillusioned outlook on life drives him to drink and bury himself in his books. Enter Rita, a forthright 26 year-old hairdresser who is eager to learn. After weeks of cajoling, Rita slowly wins over the very hesitant Frank with her innate insight and refusal to accept no for an answer. Their relationship as teacher and student blossoms, ultimately giving Frank a new sense of self and Rita the knowledge she so craves. 

This amateur production of ‘Educating Rita’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd www.concordtheatricals.co.uk.
