Catch free theatre at The Scoop throughout August 2008 and both kids and adults shows are put on from Wednesday to Sunday every week. Lucky theatre loving Londoners can witness free theatre at The Scoop from Thursday 31st July to Sunday 7th September as part of the More London Free Festival.

Following on from free music and film screenings, dance programme 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.

Two plays are showing as part of the free theatre at The Scoop season: Blood Wedding for the adults, and Petite Rouge for the kids. Blood Wedding was written originally by Frederico Garcia Lorca having been inspired by the tale of a woman who abandonded her husband on their wedding night. Translated by Ted Hughes and featuring a dramatic, romantic and bloody plot Blood Wedding is a passionate exploration of knife crime in a small village in Spain.

Petite Rouge is billed as a Cajun Red Riding Hood, adapted from the book by Mike Artell and Jim Harris, this is a new take on the traditional children's fairytale. A lively family musical from New Orleans, the show features comedy, puppetry, song and dance, Petite Rouge will delight and entertain all who see it as part of the free theatre at The Scoop over the summer.
