The destiny of the new world rests in the paws of one little puppy. Little Jack battles through a world of broken magic to find the girl in the white dress. He must travel into the Metallic Forest, over the Ever-Steeper Hill and across the haunted Cardboard Town; but will he be able to save himself? Strange creatures, flying umbrellas, and the truth about double-yellow lines; Jackajack is told through dynamic physical theatre and junkyard puppetry!

Tucked In's aim is to produce a magical piece of storytelling that is suitable for children, yet universal in its appeal. We do not set out to patronise our younger audience members; rather let them experience fear, sadness and joy when watching live theatre

'There are only two opinions about Sylvia Pankhurst. One was that she was miraculous. The other was that she was unbearable,’ - George Bernard Shaw.

1913 Women across the country are fighting for the right to vote. As the movement spreads, the government’s clamp-down becomes ever more brutal. Despite the government’s public denials, mental and physical torture becomes standard in the treatment of women prisoners.

Arrested for activism, Sylvia Pankhurst is cast into Holloway prison. In protest at her unjust imprisonment she goes on hunger strike. This is the story of Sylvia Pankhurst’s five-week strike from food, water, and finally, sleep.

Passionate, idealistic and ahead of her time, Sylvia Pankhurst charmed and infuriated the British elite in equal measure. Her determination to help others regardless of class, race and sex alienated her from her celebrated family, and tested her health and sanity to their limits.

My thesis was entitled ‘Things ‘Necessary’ and ‘Unnecessary’: Trash and Trifles in Early Modern England’. In this work I examined the shifting representation, and developing use, of the terms trash and trifles in the literature and art of early modern England in response to various crises in spiritual and mercantile value. A key factor in my successful completion of my doctorate was my ability to work flexibly (independent in research with supervised output) to meet deadlines.
