Superbolt Theatre will be kicking the month’s events off on Saturday 7 May with their Fringe sell-out production – Dinosaur Park (The Jurassic Parody). This award-winning, laugh-out-loud spin on Spielberg’s classic, Jurassic Park, is a theatrical celebration of cinematic nostalgia. The perfect parody for those waiting anxiously for the next film, and an enjoyable, entertaining piece for everyone else. Why not ‘Jurassic your weekend to the max’ and combine Dinosaur Park with a visit to our atmospheric cinema on Friday 6 May, for a screening of the original Jurassic Park? – A weekend full of fossilised fun for you to really get your teeth in to!
We will be welcoming 2015 Edinburgh Fringe Festival First Winners, ARC Stockton, on Wednesday 11 May, with their production – Going Viral. In this piece, Daniel Bye unveils a thrilling new development in his unique ability to blend storytelling, playful comedy and performance lecture.
A Fringe packed week of drama continues on Tuesday 17 May with James Seabright’s acclaimed, What Would Spock Do? This uplifting new comedy about love, Star Trek and learning to accept who you are, was a sell-out premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe, and has led to them embarking on a UK tour.
Without barely pausing for breath, Wednesday 18 May see’s Worklight Theatre’s multi-award winning show, Labels, grace the Studio Theatre stage.

Funny and true and a little bit heart-breaking”.
