The ever-popular Rubbish Shakespeare Company and Silly History Boys bring ‘The Story Forge’ to Belle Isle Tenant Management Organisation (BITMO)’s GATE Centre on Thursday (16 April 2026).

This theatrical experience for all ages comes with a quest to forge three brand-new myths live on stage, led by two ludicrously loopy professors.

These award-winning champions of children’s theatre bring an hour of high-octane family fun – so expect clowning, improv, music, and epic cardboard props.

Will the adventure unfold in Ancient Egypt, Viking fjords, or Neptune’s deep? It depends on what the audience chooses.

Alice Barber, Red Ladder Theatre Company’s creative producer and programmer, said:

“With spring finally here, we know that parents and families are on the lookout for fun and affordable ways of keeping their children entertained and this show does just that.”
