Catherine Wheels presents Caged – a wonderful theatre show about two people trapped together, and finding more freedom than they ever imagined. This is a timeless story featuring Beauty and the Beast who will never get on – or will they?

He licks his hands, stands on the toilet and runs through the woods.  She carries a hankie, never gets mud on her shoes and always remembers to send a thank you note. So how come, when she sees him run like that her heart starts to spin? Recommended for all children aged 8 and over (and the adults they bring with them).

Universal Hall, Findhorn, 13 April, 7pm. £6/£5/£4 U-16’s

RED ROOM

David Hughes Dance Company present their critically acclaimed, award-winning interpretation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic tale The Masque of the Red Death.

Barricaded in his opulent abbey-mansion, a prince entertains a party of debauched revellers whilst the world outside teeters on the brink of plague-ridden apocalypse. Capturing the themes of mortality, hedonism and madness, the diverse company of performers weave a multitude of dance traditions – ballet, breakdancing, contemporary dance, Bharatanatyam – with high-octane physical theatre to create a contemporary and visually shocking horror show for the stage. David Hughes Dance Company is one of the UK’s most accomplished and original dance companies – see http://www.davidhughesdance.co.uk

“Fast-moving, dramatic, performed with demonic energy and sly polish – this is a triumph for all concerned.” The Herald
