The perfect antidote to panto!

In rebellion against the merciless onslaught of panto season, the perfect antidote
- an evening stuffed with new plays and not a dame in sight -

The ingredients of Stage and Onion include:
Mooncake, in which a sick girl is visited by the man in the moon
Picnic, a surreal tale of doctors and duck decapitation
Gods and Goddesses, a comedy featuring Egyptian curses, infidelity and Tarot cards
A Stunt Too Far, farcical fun when an exclusive celebrity bash goes disasterously awry
Big Babies, ageism is uncovered in the award winning comedy
