For the second year running Appetite Stoke<\/a> brings Paines Plough\u2019s unique portable ‘spaceship-like’ Roundabout theatre to Stoke<\/p>\n The four day festival of brand new plays and theatrical experiences by local theatre makers and some of the country\u2019s top writers include<\/p>\n This is a boy meets girl kind of story. But it’s difficult to fall in love when your parents need saving from themselves, their weird hobbies and the threat of a prison sentence. “A funny, heartwarming and tender tale of underdogs fighting the odds.” \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605 Fest<\/p>\n Tobes is young, free and having a ball. He\u2019s successfully ignored his lump for two years but it\u2019s starting to get in the way – cramping his style and, worse, affecting his sex life. So now there are pants to be dropped, and decisions to be made… it’s a real ball ache. “Very funny, throwing laugh-out-loud one-liners\u2026 but vitally important.”\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u00a0WhatsOnStage<\/p>\n Ethan, William and Fiona are about as different as three almost-teens can be. The only thing they have in common is that tomorrow is their birthday. Oh, and they\u2019ve just discovered they have superpowers. A brand new play for ages 7+ from award winning writer Katie Douglas<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scratch & Sniff are Emily Andrews & Toby White two beans living and working in Stoke-on-Trent. They don’t really care what you think of them, but they want you to like them, well they don’t, they want you to like what they make. They don’t really know what they make quite yet, it’s some form of theatre, a different kind of theatre, but they’re quite sure you might like it.<\/p>\n brings the magic of The Poetry Takeaway to the stage. Come along, throw out your requests and the poets will whip up your ingredients into brand new poems right before your ears! \u00a0The line up includes Matt Abbott,\u00a0Laurie Bolger and\u00a0Jonny Fluffypunk<\/p>\n As well las the celebration of new theatre and performances, there is also a range of other events an workshops on offer and behind the scenes\u00a0tours of this incredibly unique theatre performance space<\/p>\n ROUNDABOUT Theatre Festival takes place from 20-23 October and the incredibly unique performance venue will be located in Albion Square, City Centre, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 1QQ – Tickets, times, and full info available here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [bctt tweet=”Extraordinary pop up theatre festival from @PainesPlough returns to Staffordshire 20 to 23 October\u00a0@AppetiteStoke\u00a0http:\/\/www.staffordshiretheatre.com\/roundabout-by-paines-plough-four-day-pop-up-theatre-festival-returns-to-staffordshire\/” via=”no”][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1458774858440{background-color: #e8e8e8 !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1458950926278{padding-right: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”DATES, TIMES and BOOKING” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1458775149096{padding-top: 10px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1458775554849{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1477039813683{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”]<\/p>\n Thursday\u00a020 to 22 October\u00a02016<\/p>\n Vary from FREE, to Pay What You Can Afford The full line up of show times and tickets can be accessed here at the Roundabout Festival Website<\/a>\u00a0or download a full season brochure here<\/a><\/p>\n![\"roundabout-theatre-by-paines-plough-theatre-in-staffordshire-2\"](\"http:\/\/www.staffordshiretheatre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Roundabout-Theatre-by-Paines-Plough-Theatre-in-Staffordshire-2-.jpg\")
