Time Out says

Peter Hall, founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company, is the artistic heart behind relative newcomer Rose Theatre in Kingston. Opened in 2008, the 900-seat modern theatre welcomes touring companies as well as staging home grown productions from Alan Ayckbourn's ‘Bedroom Farce’ to ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’ starring Judi Dench. Its programme reaches out to the local community with a populist mix of comedy, music and events as well as theatre aimed at children (‘Room on the Broom) and teenagers (Richard Milward’s ‘Apples’).

What’s on

Room on the Broom

A witch soars across the skies – and picks up a few animal pals along the way – in this adaptation of the best-selling picture book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffer. It's created by Tall Stories, who've created a host of loveable stagings of storybook favourites, and uses their typical combo of sing-a-longs, puppetry, and quirky humour. Ages three-to-eight.

The Wind in the Willows

After a couple of Christmases of quite edgy fair from the playwright Chris Bush, this season’s Rose Theatre Kingston festive show looks a bit less provocative, being a new stage adaptation of Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows from kids’ playwright Rob Evans. Still, the antics of Toad, Ratty, Badger and Mole and their showdown with the rapacious Weasels are not exactly a bland evening of entertainment, and director Owen Horsely is a heavyweight best known for his work with the RSC.
