Eden Court is presenting a varied line-up of shows starring young performers in the coming weeks.

Charleston drama group
10 tiny fingers, 10 tiny toes
Sunday 16 March 7.00pm
One Touch Theatre

The talented members of Charleston Drama Group are staging a production of Ten Tiny Fingers, a powerful play by Adrian Mole writer Sue Townsend.

Ten Tiny Fingers is set in the future and takes place in The Cairngorms and Yorkshire. The coming world is not a very nice place. The population is controlled by 'the goverment' which has placed everyone into sections. This way they can control everything in your life, from where you go on holiday, right down to whether you should be allowed to have children.

Eden Court Drama Worker Amanda Luscombe is overseeing this production.
