1. South Hill Park prepares for big adventures in a
gigantic world with, The Borrowers
Treat your little ones this half term by joining South Hill Park and the little people of The
Borrowers as they adventure through the gigantic world of the Human Bean’s in this classic
retelling of the traditional story.
This community-based production will take place from Thursday 29th October – Saturday
31st October and guarantees to leave its audiences, both big and small, in awe, feeling as
though they have journeyed with Arietty, Pod and Homilly and shared in their many exciting
encounters along the way. From stunning sets and costumes by returning designers Victoria
Spearing and Anne Tompson to a wonderful script and music, The Borrowers should be a
must do activity on anyone’s list this half term!
Directed by Joe Maylan and adapted by Charles Way, The Borrowers tells the story of these
small humans who live in the English hinterland. They live happily in a perfect little home
under the floorboards of a quiet old house. But, when young Arrietty gets itchy feet and
decides to go exploring, their secret is out and nothing will ever be the same again.
The cast sees the return of some familiar faces to South Hill Park productions including
Emma Harris as Arriety, Caroline Lovey’s one of South Hill Parks resident artists, as Homiiy
and Chris Hillebrandt as Pod.
