It's Easter - And panto is back on Teesside


There's fun for all the family at local theatres in the week ahead




The Chuckle Brothers will be at Billingham’s Forum Theatre tomorrow with their hilarious new show, A 2014 Space Oddity.


Paul and Barry visit a toy shop to buy some water pistols. Whilst trying them out they notice a toy space ship - and they get in. “Don’t touch anything” the shop keeper shouts out, “especially that button!”. But the Chuckle Brothers can’t resist it, press the button and are suddenly off on a space adventure.


There are performances at tomorrow at 2pm and 5pm.


Tickets £14, family ticket £52. Details on 01642 552663 or http://ift.tt/1hLZsVm.


Charles Dickens meets Roald Dahl via Horrible Histories in Grisly Tales from Tumblewater at ARC on Friday, April 18.


Welcome to Tumblewater. Not that it’s a very welcoming place - unless you’re an undertaker or an umbrella salesman. Caspian Prye, the twisted landowner, controls everything and everyone; even the police.


Into this world stumbles Daniel Dorey, a fearless orphan armed only with his wits and stories. Can he bring down Caspian Prye? Can he rescue the girl in the distant room? Can he even stay alive long enough to tell his tales?


Edward Jaspers, co-writer of Hamlet! The Musical, performs this one-man adaptation of Bruno Vincent’s deliciously dark novel - which was nominated for the 2010 Waterstone’s Children’s Book Awards.


Tickets are price £6, family £20, details 01642 525199 or at www.arconline.co.uk.


And panto fun returns to Darlington Civic Theatre next week - oh yes it does!


Peter Pan will be at the venue on Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20. The show stars Tracey Beaker’s Dani Harmer and legend Bobby Davro.


Join Wendy, Michael and John as they take off to Neverland with the boy who never grows up.


Take part in their adventure and meet a fantastical range of characters along the way; Tinker Bell, the Lost Children, Tiger Lily, Nana the dog, mermaids, pirates, Smee and, of course, the deadly Captain Hook.


Tickets are adults £16.50 and £18.50, children £14.50 and £16.50, family ticket £65.
