Theatre company, Frozen Light, present a multi-sensory experience for audiences with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD). Each performance is tailored to the specific needs of the audience – which is limited to 6 people with PMLD and their companions.

A request: because of the audience-specific nature of the work the cost of hosting this show is high. Bringing this performance to our venue has been made possible through the generous support of private donors and local companies, but we are still seeking further support. If you are able to help, please see the further information at the foot of this page.

The Ancient Oak stands strong in the Forest of Baldor, in the land of Earten. The people of Baldor are celebrating The Great Cracking of the Ancient Oak.

Elspeth hoped this was the day that Lars would return. But when he doesn’t, she is taken on an unexpected and unforgettable journey.
