Catch free theatre at The Scoop throughout August 2011 when both kids and adults shows are put on every week. Lucky theatre loving Londoners can witness free theatre at The Scoop as part of the More London Free Festival.

Shows for kids and adults
Taking place alongside a programme of free music and film screenings and free exercise classes, the festival now gives you the chance to catch a little culture after work or before an evening out on the town with the free theatre performances.

Classic stories retold
Two plays are showing as part of the free theatre at The Scoop season: Brecht's The Mother for the adults, and Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days for the kids. The production of The Mother follows the story of Pavel's mother, who finds herself caught up in a wave of street demonstrations and protests. Originally written during the rise of Hitler, the play still has the ability to provoke and stir the emotions.

Family shows
Around the World in Eighty Days has been adapted from the much loved story by Jules Verne and follows the exploits of Phileas Fogg and his servant Passepartout as they try to cross the globe. A lively family show, the play features comedy, puppetry, and interactive fun to hold children's attention. Around the World in Eighty Days will delight and entertain all who see it as part of the free theatre at The Scoop over the summer.

The free theatre shows take place from 6pm - 7.15pm Thursdays - Sundays, 4th August - 4th September 2011.

All seats for the free theatre at The Scoop are issued on a first come first served basis. Performances may be cancelled due to inclement weather.
