On the 1^st February 2018 a few lucky children had the exciting chance to watch Peter Darrell’s ‘the nutcracker’ at the Theatre Royal. It was a fantastic show! The Nutcracker is about little girl called Clara, as she drifts off to sleep on Christmas Eve. She meets her Prince she is then confronted by a battle of larger-than-life mice and rats, and is whisked into the luscious land of sweets.

The dancing was beautiful and the sets were enchanting. It was an absolutely phenomenal night! Although it was brilliant, I must say that I was quite confused when mice and clowns came on stage but that didn’t make it any less fun for me and Abigail!  In the interval everyone bought ice-cream and talked about what we liked so far. The wonderful day ended at 9.50 . Every one enjoyed the night— it was ‘mind-blowing but memorable’ said Izzy.
