Mother Goose
Lamproom Theatre
7th December — 2nd January 2020
Mother Goose is about to be thrown off her land because she cannot pay the squire and his bailiffs the rent she owes - when along comes Priscilla the goose.
Mother Goose loves her as a friend, but doen’t know that she has been sent by the Good Fairy to help.
Priscilla lays golden eggs and makes Mother Goose rich beyond her wildest dreams.
However, the Demon King has a bet with the Good Fairy. He claims that there is no-one on earth who is happy or content with what they have – they always want more. The Good Fairy disagrees and uses Mother Goose as an example of goodness.
The Demon King tempts Mother Goose with the one thing that she does not have – youth and beauty. He persuades her to give him Priscilla in exchange for a visit to The Pool of Beauty. She gives him Priscilla and enters the pool, emerging as (she thinks) a beautiful woman.
Book your tickets via The Lamproom to find out what happens to Mother Goose and all the gang in The Lamproom Theatre’s traditional family fun-packed Christmas Pantomime.

Pushing Paper: Contemporary Drawing from 1970 Until Now Cooper Gallery
9th December – March 2021
For the first time, the British Museum has co-curated an exhibition with partner museums from around
the UK to display and then tour contemporary artworks from its Prints and Drawings collection.
Pushing paper: contemporary drawing from 1970 to now will illustrate how artists experiment
with the power of paper to express their ideas, pushing the medium in new directions. It will highlight the breadth and quality of the Museum’s collection of modern art, as well as its global scope.
The exhibition of 56 works will showcase the astonishing diversity of contemporary drawing over the last fifty years. It will begin at the British Museum and then travel on to partner museums as part of the Museum’s National Programmes, allowing more people around the UK the opportunity to see British Museum objects outside of London.
The Cooper Gallery is one of only three galleries in the UK that will host the exhibition and the only one in Yorkshire where you can see the magnificent work.
