Carn to Cove

Something OUTTA Nothing is a playful, site-specific theatre adventure combining Breakin’ with immersive audio storytelling, putting you in the driver’s seat.

Grab a headset and join the journey of three friends as they hit the road in a rush to reach their own show. You’ll take control of the movement and music while you hijack the radio, with every choice rewriting the story.

As they pick up speed, expect explosive breakin’ along with high energy hip hop before hitting the breaks for more loose and liquid movement, bringing your locality to life.

Join us at The Ladder, Redruth on Saturday 2nd May at 6pm

Tickets from £5 - book online on the Carn to Cove website, or call 01209 312505

Intricate, funny and atmospheric, The Clockwork Moth's Hansel & Gretel is a shadow play for adults and children alike.

Join us at North Hill Village Hall (near Launceston, PL15 7PQ) on Sunday 26th April. Tickets from £6 - book on our website or call 01209 312505
