BEFORE the world goes Christmas mad, there are a couple of lovely family events coming up that have nothing to do with tinsel and Santa.

On November 23, Theater Alibi return to Dorset with their gorgeous adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s I Believe in Unicorns.

Tomas didn’t like books or stories, because stories were just for ‘Little Snotties’. He was happier clambering in the mountains like a goat or tobogganing with his Dad.

That was until the Unicorn Lady came to town and reeled him in with her irresistible magic tales.

But then disaster struck and put everything that mattered most in Tomas’s life in terrible danger...

Theatre Alibi last worked with Michael Morpurgo on Why the Whales Came which ran in the West End to great critical acclaim. The author and former Children’s Laureate has also been to see I Believe in Unicorns and thoroughly approved of what Theatre Alibi has done with his classic tale.

You can see the show for yourself at Broadmayne village hall on November 23 at 3pm. Tickets are £6 plus concessions and family rates. Call 01305 854205 for tickets and visit artsreach.co.uk for further details.

B Sharp are also holding their end-of-year party at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis on November 23.

The group is a small charity that changes young people’s lives through music. They offer opportunities to play music together, and they develop young people’s creative ideas in collaborative ways.

The B Sharp party puts the fun into fundraising, so come along, enjoy the show and maybe be inspired to make music yourself!

The show runs from 8pm until midnight and tickets are £8 plus concessions from the box office at Lyme Regis TIC on 01297 442 138.
