A landmark court case begins tomorrow… ⚖️

Here’s your very first look at Kevin Jenkins' design for Act 2 of Alan Ayckbourn’s The Trial of Romeo Oscar - these stunning visuals have been 3D modelled and animated in Blender, propelling us into the year 2194.

We’ll be catching up with Kevin soon for a chat about his creative process, inspirations, and how he brought the design to life - watch this space!

***COMPETITION FOR KIDS***

Draw a motif/your favourite Christmas item and have it included on Hairy Bob's actual jumper in our production aimed at 0–6-year-olds at this Christmas!

We know it's a little weird to be getting excited about Christmas, but at least the month now ends in 'ber'!

Follow the steps below...

Option 1: Download the document in the comments/our bio (for insta) and either fill in the squares on the grid to form a pixelated picture or ignore the squares and draw over the top - we'll take care of the rest.

Option 2: Use a clean piece of paper and draw your picture and we will convert it into the grid format.

Our elves will then turn this into a knitting pattern and use it on the jumper.

You will then need to take a picture/scan the drawing in good lighting on a flat surface, complete the form (also in the comments/insta bio) and upload the picture.

DEADLINE: Midnight 30 September

Once we have received the entries, we will upload the pictures to our social media accounts and give you 7 days to get as many likes/hearts as possible. The 3 with the most will be included in the jumper.

Get drawing!

Hints and ideas: Hairy Bob loves all things Christmas, so it could be a bauble for the tree, a candy cane, a favourite sweet, a Christmas tree itself, a star, a gingerbread person, an angel - anything that makes you think happy thoughts for Christmas.
