Small Town (Oberon Modern Plays)

Product Information

Flip Out has a small soft play area next to the cafe, which is enough to keep little ones (under 5) happy for an hour or two while the older ones are jumping away in the main arena.

There’s an odd thing that happens in this city when the sun comes out. It really does rub me up the wrong way. Everybody becomes so happy and luvy and optimistic......urgh! Whatever happened to the October crowd? The rain walkers? The Prozac munchers? Why can’t things just be the way they were? A fright fest it is not, but a laugh a second, entertainment extravaganza it is. I haven’t enjoyed myself so much in a very long time. Go and see it! Play has a huge indoor play area designed for 4-12 yr olds and a Toddler zone for under 4’s. There is a 360 street where children can play at being vets, doing the shopping or chefing at the Pizza Parlour. Not only that, there are dodgems, a musical carousel, a messy play area and a cafe. Your rainy day sorted! Fleet Tot City is a role play and party centre with a cafe. All children love to play make-believe and dressing-up, and with at least 9 role play areas, equipped with child sized resources and dressing up outfits, will entice them to let their imagination fly. They can make an ice-cream sundae in the café, repair a broken wing mirror in the garage or do the weekly shop in our supermarket – they can be whatever they want to be today.

That is the case with Our Town as well, as Grover’s Corners and its people transform in each city, in each country where it plays, in each era, without a word changed. Our Town has proved that instead of being only a play of the moment when it was first seen, it is a play of every moment. People just need to take the time, to paraphrase Wilder, to realise it. Political commentators on the right have have held up the country music canon, and Aldean in particular, as a loudspeaker for under-appreciated conservative values.

It turns out that Smalltown, a trio of interconnected tales surrounding a contaminated water supply and a subsequent zombie infestation, is an absolute jolly hoot. It makes Shaun Of The Dead look like an Eastenders HIV storyline.

It’s a testament to this seeming war horse from an earlier era that it still calls to theatre artists today. England has seen three major productions in the last decade: at the Almeida in 2014, at the Royal Exchange in 2017, and at the Open Air theatre in Regent’s Park in 2019. A new production is opening the 2021 season at the Queensland theatre in Brisbane, Australia, this month. Frankie’s Fun Factory is an adventure play and party centre for children up to the age of 12. It includes slides, ball pits and a zip slide amongst other play apparatus . It has a diner area with a fantastic range of food for children and adults. It may sound fulsome but I’m prepared to take a leap and suggest that Our Town is very likely on its way to being America’s first Shakespearean play. I’m not speaking of its language or scale, but rather the likelihood that it’s going to remain in the international repertoire for more than a hundred years – and beyond. There are treasures hidden everywhere. Turn on and off lights, toss garbage in the bins, or wrap up a present in the store to give to friends. Throw stones in the pond and tap the sun for day and night. Remember there are no rules so don't be afraid to interact with anything, even the toilet! Imagination is in Camberley and is ideal for 0-6 yr olds and has 8 areas of learning. Each role play area will inspire your child to broaden their personal, social and emotional development, expand their language and communication skills while gaining confidence and having lots of fun! Areas include a Pirate ship, Home Corner, Miliraty Room, Garden, Vets, Farm Shop, Baby Room and Dress Up Area.

The critical consensus

It means that in Smalltown, you can expect zombies, B-movie motifs and three possible endings, but little in the way of profundity. "I wanted there to be at least a tiny bit of the small-town experience in each of the three plays," says Maxwell. "It's there deep down, but it's not that type of show. If you're looking for depth and exploration of the small-town experience, look at everything else we've done." Playwright Thornton Wilder, pictured in 1949. Photograph: Ray Fisher/The LIFE Images Collection/Getty Images That’s because the play is about mortality, about the brevity of human life and Wilder’s charge to the audience to appreciate what they have while they have it. It’s not about stoves and walls. For a play that many remember for its sweet romantic scene with two teenagers in Act II, or for the homespun charms that clung to it for so many years, this is a play that starts talking about death in its first few paragraphs, giving way in its third act to a scene of the aftermath of a tragedy from an atypical perspective.
