Magic and mystery at Exeter's Bike Shed Theatre this Christmas

From Tuesday 16 December to Saturday 10 January The Bike Shed Theatre, in Exeter’s Fore Street, will be transformed into an extraordinary kingdom, filled with magic and mystery - The Land of Lost.

The perfect show for all the family, Edgar and the Land of Lost is an original Bike Shed Theatre and Wardrobe Ensemble production with family of three tickets available at just £25.

Join lonely, sensible, grumpy Edgar and adventurous, unruly Peewee as the unlikely pair travel through the imposing doors of lost property in sleepy Winton town - into the undiscovered, Land of Lost - where everything is misplaced and nothing is as it seems. The singer has lost his voice, the butcher has lost her cleaver, Edgar has lost something much closer to home but can anyone remember?

David Lockwood Director of The Bike Shed Theatre said, “We wanted to create an original Christmas production, something that no one has seen before with a magical festive feeling at its heart. This is a true modern classic containing all the elements of a traditional Christmas story, with an inventive freshness that is the hallmark of our work here, in a production that will appeal to both adults and children.”

The Wardrobe Ensemble returns to Exeter following their 2013 Christmas collaboration with The Bike Shed Theatre of Eliza and the Wild Swans. The ensemble have an impressive portfolio which includes an acclaimed run at The National Theatre with Riot as part of the Limited Editions season which showcased work from Britain’s most exciting theatre makers. Riot premiered in Edinburgh 2011, picking up five-star reviews and a nomination for Best Ensemble from the Stage Awards marking the company as ‘one to watch’.

Join The Bike Shed Theatre and The Wardrobe Ensemble this Christmas as they team up on a mystical, musical journey into an underground realm of lost possessions, suppressed memories and unexpected friendships. 

Edgar and the Land of Lost is kindly supported by Cartridges Solicitors and Arts Council England. It will be showing in The Bike Shed Theatre at 1pm and 7pm daily throughout the festive season, from 16 December 2014 to 10 January 2015 (with preview tickets from 9th December).
