THEATRE @ THE OLD SCHOOL WELCOMES.....
"SECRETS OF A HIDDEN REALM" - SQUASHBOX THEATRE
supported by Carn to Cove
Doors open at 6.30pm for 7pm start. We have a fully licensed bar.
What if there was a parallel dimension where the giants, faeries, piskies and other magical creatures from Cornish stories really existed?
For centuries, a mysterious covert organisation has been investigating this ‘Hidden Realm’ from its top secret base above Poundland in Camborne, and rumour has it they are trying to create a portal between the worlds…
But the time for secrecy is over. Tonight we will open the archives, release the secret files, and learn the truth about the Hidden Realm – whatever the consequences!
‘Secrets of the Hidden Realm’ delves into the strange, dark and beguiling world of Cornish folklore, using a blend of storytelling, comedy and ingenious puppetry. It combines a deep reverence for the history and mythology of Cornwall with absurd humour and a dash of Cosmic Horror. (Imagine if ‘The X Files’ was set in Redruth, or Cthulhu appeared in Marazion…)
‘Secrets of the Hidden Realm’ is written and performed by Craig Johnson, Penzance-based actor, musician and puppeteer. Under the name Squashbox Theatre he has been creating marvellous, quirky and inventive family shows for over 18 years.
This is Squashbox Theatre's first show for adults & older children! (recommended age 12+)
Tickets:
Standard Adult - £12
Under 18's - £8
Family - £35 (2 Adults & 2 Children)
Supporter tickets £15 (this includes a donation to Carn to Cove to bring more subsidised future shows to Cornwall)
Suitable for ages 12+

Starring: June Squibb, Fred Hechinger, Richard Rountree, Clark Gregg and Malcolm McDowell.
When 93 year old Thelma gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her.
“This is one of those rare films that comes out of nowhere in the movie season and delights everyone who sees it, which is why I’m begging you, DON'T MISS IT.”
“What unfolds is Mission Impossible on Mobility Scooters, with a soundtrack to match.”
“ The tone from the debut feature writer and director, Josh Margolin, is exquisitely well judged, offsetting deeply felt melancholia with wry humour.”
“ It's rare to find a movie that balances silliness and sincerity so effortlessly that it blocks out any sense of modern cynicism.”
