Since the very first St Edmund’s Festival the Pupil Cabaret has been a ‘must see’ and is a wonderful opportunity for the pupils to impress us with their talents. Variety entertainment has always been a favourite of the British and this event is naturally a sell-out. As always, you can expect an evening full of surprises and good old-fashioned entertainment. Join our very own ‘new’ double act, Joe Goodwin and Scarlett Newman-Cousins, as they host this wonderful show in the Festival Marquee.

Grimm's Fairy Tales
Friday 30 June I 2pm & 7pm
Theatre
Tickets: £7.50 adult I £5 child/student U21
Running time approx: 1 hour
(including a 15 minute interval)
Great theatre exists in the space between actors and audience, and is as elusive and silvery as the paths that wind through dark woods of fairy tales. Carol Ann Duffy and Tim Supple’s re-telling of two Grimm tales, Snow White and Rumplestiltskin, journey into the bright, warped world of a child’s imagination, as told through the eyes of our talented St Edmund’s Junior School pupils.
