Events on Thursday 21st April

“On the surface it might seem like a family-friendly box-office success, which spawned a smash-hit musical, but Waters calls it his ‘Trojan Horse’. Like all of his films, it’s an anti-authoritarian, pro-equality celebration of outsiders, but this one masquerades as a sweet-natured, 60s-set high-school movie.”

“We are delighted to present a special performance from Michael Rosen, one of Britain’s favourite writers and performers for children and adults. The former Children’s Laureate will read and discuss a selection of his best-loved poems and stories, with his unique sense of humour and witty observations, followed by a short Q&A and book signing. The event will take place at Brunel's SS Great Britain’s Viridor Theatre, with the stunning backdrop of the dockyard and ship.”

“Come with us into the unmapped terrain of stories told in the dark, shot through with enchantment, transformation, things lost, things found, grown-up fairytale and weird myth. Here, anything you see, happens in the cinema of your imagination.”

“Hidden Door cabaret are often tucked away in secret locations around Bristol, under the open sky, however this time, they are taken to a stage under a glorious canopy of a big top. How did they end up there? Did someone leave the door ajar...Hatch on the latch..? Either way, sit back, relax and feast your eyes upon this tasty cocktail of refined, feel-good circus and cabaret that they've brought to this grand space!”
