About

Come along for a bowl of soup and a show at lunchtime!

Mary Anning and her brother Joseph have a tempestuous relationship. Mary loves wandering the beach, discovering fossils and learning about science and geology. Joseph just wants her to be normal, act like a lady and stop embarrassing the family. This is their story of different views in a changing society. Will they ever find middle ground?

Written by Carol Sheppard.

Each £10 ticket includes a bowl of delicious home-cooked soup and the event is designed to fit into an hour-long lunch break. Performances are suitable for ages 11 and over.
