NEVER EVER AFTER - Has been written by local playwrite and teacher Kei Bailey. 

Many years after the ‘happily ever afters’, the young people whose lives were disrupted by witches and wolves, and mirrors and midnights are no longer young and all have children of their own; children who had been leading pretty unremarkable and rather uneventful lives. But everything has suddenly changed, dark magic has stirred once again. A new, unfamiliar power has swept across the Kingdom, trapping everyone in their homes, locking everyone away from the outside world. No-one knows where the curse came from, no-one knows when it will disappear. The children of the famous must adapt to their new lives as best they can and face the challenge with courage, humour and a little song and dance.

Tickets for these shows are only available via our Box Office - please email boxoffice@blackfriarsartscentre.co.uk with your contact details, number of tickets required and the date / time of performance and we will get back to you. Alternatively phone Box Office on 01205 363108 and leave us a message with the above details so one of our volunteers can get back to you. 

The Blackfriars Theatre Academy teachers and students have been working hard over the summer to put together this socially distanced production to perform for a LIVE audience outside. Thanks to our connection with Heritage Lincolnshire Branston Hall Hotel, Lincoln have agreed to facilitate this event in their gardens. To find out more about the venue and how to get there visit the website at https://branstonhall.com/
