The Step Up Club: On Returning to Work
By Phanella Mayall Fine and Alice Olins, 22nd September 2016Do, Features Step Up Club founders Phanella Mayall Fine and Alice Olins advise on returning to work after taking a career break to have kids
Having spent the Summer touring the Thames, the Puppet Barge Theatre is back in Central London and ready for the new season. Moored at Little Venice, a stone’s throw from Marble Arch, this magical, intimate marionette theatre – which is set inside a beautiful barge – is gearing up for the half-term. From 27 October to 1 November, the puppets will be telling the tale of ‘The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse’, a story beloved by the smallies amongst us. But if you want to go all high-brow, they’ll also be doing six performances of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight – a 14th Century work, as you well know – from 11 October. Music, poetry, and the sound of water lapping against the side of a boat – what more could we ask?
Tickets – children £8.50, seniors £10, adults £12
