Adventures in English: Space!
In February, Networks English Studies presents the Theatre In Education show: "Space!" After the great success of previous editions, our artistic director Nick Moore presents the specially written show for schools in the area. It is a show focused for Primary courses and contains a large number of preparatory and follow-up activities in class, both before and after the show. Adventures in English will be presented at Networks Theatre in the third week of February. In the words of the teacher Ana Fuentes Marzo, from Luis Costa School:
"The level of the show is perfect for my students. Either the grammar and the vocabulary review or introduce the standards set for that course. The students were at all the time very "hooked" and participating. The songs were easy to learn, as well as the poems, since they were always accompanied by a choreography. "This show is reserved for schools only. If you are a teacher and want to bring your class to the show, contact us on 966 740 251.

Psychedelic Cool
Networks Theatre in Orihuela town presents Psychedelic Cool, a musical written and directed by Nick Moore. This great toe-tapping show tells the story of a school theatre group who want to put on a musical. The conflict starts when half the group want to do Grease and the other half want to do Hair. In this battle of the Hippies versus the Cool guys and girls, with an amazing cast and superb songs from both shows, brilliant choreographies and great comedy, only one musical will eventually hit the stage. But then comes the twist in the tail...the show has one of the most surprising twists ever in a Networks show. This is a great night's theatre! You can’t miss it!

Networks Theatre is back! Our next offering is a rare theatrical event in the region, KINDERTRANSPORT – THE CHILDREN’S TRAIN created by Nick Moore. This emotional drama is set in Europe in the 1930s. After the pogrom of November 9th, 1938 several European countries opened their borders for children and young people in what was called “Kindertransport”, the transport of children. As the Nazis increased their grip on Germany and Austria, Jewish families were given the chance to evacuate their children to the UK. Around 10,000 young people and children moved to England, while their parents, in many cases, weren’t able to leave. Many of these children never saw their families ever again. There is where our show begins.
“Children of the Kindertransport” @ Hope Square, Liverpool Street Station, London
With a talented cast of 16 actors the show tells the story of a very dark chapter in human history. This touching drama with songs tells the stories of some of these children. It is superbly acted and will not fail to move you. If you like a powerful night at the theatre, then you can book tickets through our website (click here for booking). That page shows times and prices. The shows are 30, 31 May and 1 June. For more information, call 96 674 02 51 any afternoon.
Kindertransport will be followed by our final show of the season. On 3rd June the Children’s Theatre Course will begin. This summer it’s the turn of The Bamboo Princess, written and directed by Nick Moore. The story is based on a Japanese folk tale in which a couple of elderly peasants find a baby girl inside a bamboo plant and decide to adopt it as if it were their daughter. But that girl is more than just an abandoned baby unbeknownst to them she’s a Moon Princess who will one day return home. The shows will be at the end of our school year on 20th and 21st of June.
