Model Theatres were enormously popular in Regency and Victorian times. They faithfully recorded all the popular theatrical successes of the day, and were a source of entertainment for the whole family. Now you can experience this charming, historic, and fascinating world with a live performance for your club or society. Full details of the entertainment can be found on the website, www.burroughes.uk Just head to the 'Juvenile drama' page to learn more about this delightful, unusual, and entirely engrossing entertainment.
“A full Church enjoyed ‘H.M.S.Pinafore’ which was a real novelty, taking us back to an age free from television, cinema, and computers. A miniature theatre linked to a large screen for clearer vision with wonderful music and sound effects. We were amusingly entertained, as indeed our forefathers would have been, if they were fortunate enough.”
“At first I thought this was just a ‘quaint’ entertainment. Then an hour later I realised I had totally forgotten the actors were simply paper and card figures. I thoroughly believed they were real.”
"Utterly enchanting - there is nothing more that can be said."
