Learning To Fly

Critically acclaimed storyteller James Rowland returns with his captivating mix of theatre, comedy and music.

“Joyful” ★★★★★ The Guardian

LEARNING TO FLY sees James tell the story of a remarkable friendship he made when he was a lonely, unhappy teenager with the scary old lady who lived in the spooky house on his street.

It's about connection, no matter what the obstacles; about love’s eternal struggle with time; about music and its ability to heal.

It's also about her last wish: to get high once before she died.

Uplifting, big hearted and hilarious.

Pixiematosis

Everything was perfect in the midnight garden. The flowers grew, the fairies flew, the grobbity grobbits danced a merry dance in the twinkly moonlight. Then one day, without warning, the deranged gardener from next door threw the shed door wide, and let loose the massive-evil-pitchfork-of-doom!

PIXIEMATOSIS is a happy/sad tale of tiny extraordinary creatures living in a nocturnal paradise who realise, far too late, that they are being exploited for a distinctly sinister purpose.
