Families with children aged 10 and above will enjoy the energetic youth musical Hot Wheels this Easter. Girl power at its best. Get ready for the grand slam! This is roller derby, the perfect escape. But sometimes winning isn’t the most important thing. From an exceptional young company of emerging talent, comes an extraordinarily empowering new musical featuring a fearless all-female cast. Expect daring movement, and spectacular harmonies and ensemble work. (Saturday 23 – Sunday 24 April).

Writer and Director, Ellie Jones said: “Hot Wheels is a show about how roller derby can change your life. It allows women to take up space, to be aggressive, and to take part in a contact sport, which a lot of people think you shouldn’t do if you are a woman. It allows women a space where they can get hurt, knocked down or fall over and get back up and carry on just like anyone else. It’s hugely empowering to be able to get up again and carry on.”
