Cushion Cabaret
Workshop Theatre's Cushion Cabaret returns this December with a Christmas story for the whole family.
Whether they shut their eyes and entered the land of dreams, or it was the magic of stories, two children suddenly find themselves right in the middle of the book they are reading! A book about knights and dragons!!
Join the children as they travel back in time and meet King Phufbert and Queen Prunella, three not so brave knights, Bigglewump the Jester, and of course…the dragon!
A whimsical, heartwarming, fun filled adventure for the whole family. Can two children from 2026 teach a medieval dragon about friendship?
