Welcome to The Basement

Welcome to the Basement is especially designed for families who have a child with additional needs and has been devised and developed by Kim and Russ at Shabang. The performance will take place in the Grade II listed Chapel main space, previously a Baptist Chapel congregational space which has been lovingly re-furbished. The audience will meet Gloria the housekeeper and Bodger Smith the (not so) handyman who live below stairs in the big house owned for generations by the mysterious Lady Rose. The hapless Bodger means well – but it is usually Gloria who ends up making things right. Gloria is a hive of activity but Bodger is a bit of a bumbler who loves nothing more than a song and an afternoon nap. They need to be ready as Lady Rose occasionally visits to check that all is harmonious down in the basement. The performance unfolds with original songs, music, and multi-sensory techniques and the audience will be welcomed with refreshments on arrival.
