Directed by Malcolm Beasley

As part of Doncaster Little Theatre's community development project, which aims to increase the accessibility of the arts to Doncaster residents, Blood Brothers was shown at a number of community venues around Doncaster.

This is a captivating and unforgettable story set in Liverpool spanning several decades. It tells of a working class single mother in financial desperation who gives away one of her new-born sons to middle class family in the hope he’ll gain a better life.

Mark Catley came to see the Saturday performance! The cast and crew were surprised and delighted, and Mark's reaction to our work was incredibly positive.

In a radio interview he said he was 'blown away' by the performance. Not only did he think the show was the equal of the original professional production at West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds, but he also felt that our version of the final scenes was even better.

by Alan Bennett Directed by Angela Wren - 25 - 30 January 2010

“Thatcher the milk snatcher”, decimalisation and a new Conservative Government – Yes it’s 1971 and the Little Theatre’s production of Alan Bennett’s “Getting On”, directed by Angela Wren offers a nostalgic glimpse of the early seventies, whilst having a resonance to the political situation as we enter an election year and a new decade.

Who is the fairest? "Snow White" of course !

It’s Panto time again, and as always Doncaster Little Theatre’s Production of “Snow White”, by Norman Robbins, and directed by Alan Roberts, is one not to be missed. When beautiful but evil Queen Maligna is told by the magic mirror that her stepdaughter, Princess Millie (known to her friends as Snow White), is more beautiful, Maligna is consumed with jealousy and determines to kill her. But Snow White has many old friends and finds seven new ones who live in a little cottage deep in the forest!
