Here is a small selection of the productions that we have been involved with;

 

Save The Sorceror’s Apprentice

In December 2021 ‘Albert Prendergast’ supplied maroon gymslips for the Northern Theatre production of ‘The Sorceror’s Apprentice’.

Grab your magical marching mop and join us in this enchanting new production.

Hatty Rabbit was just a normal girl from a normal family (well, as normal as families get). That is until a job offer arrives for Hatty, in the form of a letter slid underneath the door on a cold winter’s night, she is to become the Sorcerer’s Apprentice…

A truly magical treat for the whole family that’s not to be missed this Christmas.

 

Toast

In August 2019 ‘Albert Prendergast’ supplied shorts & socks for the national touring production of Nigel Slater’s ‘Toast’.

Toast vividly recreates Nigel Slater’s childhood through the tastes and smells he shares with his mother, culminating in the young Nigel’s escape to London. From making the perfect sherry trifle, through the playground politics of sweets, the rigid rules of restaurant dining, and a domestic war over cakes, this is a moving and evocative tale of love, loss and…toast.

 

Cats

In July 2019 ‘Albert Prendergast’ supplied gymslips, shorts, blouses, ties, caps and other uniform for the Killworth House production of ‘Cats’.

We are ‘over the moon’ to announce that Kilworth HouseTheatre will be presenting an all new and exciting production of ‘CATS’

The magnificent musical score composed by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber, based on T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats is a ground-breaking musical that comes together in a sparkling fusion of music, dance and verse and includes the poignant hit song ‘Memory’. Alive with our favourite feline characters including Rum Tum Tugger, Mr Mistoffelees, Macavity, Old Deuteromy and Grizabella to name but a few. ‘CATS’ is quite simply a phenomenon.

A magical musical like no other with breath-taking choreography, set and costumes ‘CATS’ at Kilworth’ is going to be ‘the cats’ whiskers’ of shows set in the unique mystical glade that only Kilworth can offer.

 

Malory Towers

In May 2019 ‘Albert Prendergast’ supplied gymslips, sashes, blouses, ties and other uniform accessories for the ‘Wise Children’ production of ‘Malory Towers’.

Nostalgic, naughty and perfect for now, Malory Towers is the original ‘Girl Power’ story. Join Wise Children for high jinks, high drama and high spirits, all set to sensational live music and breathtaking animation.

Darrell Rivers is starting school with an eager mind and fierce heart. Unfortunately she also has a quick temper! Can she learn to tolerate the infuriating Gwendoline Lacey, or value the kind hearted Sally Hope? Can she save the school play and rescue terrified Mary Lou from the grip of a raging storm? If she can do these things anywhere, she will do them at Malory Towers!

Adapted and directed by Emma Rice (Romantics Anonymous, Tristan & Yseult, The Flying Lovers of Vitebsk and Brief Encounter), this is a show for girls, boys and all us grown-up children who still dream of midnight feasts and Cornish clifftops.

Adapted by Anne Washburn (Mr Burns) and directed by Olivier Award-winner Richard Jones, this piercingly smart (Time Out) production of the acclaimed CBS Television series lands at the Ambassadors Theatre, fresh from a rapturously received, sell-out run at the Almeida Theatre.

 

Matilda

Armed with a vivid imagination and razor-sharp intellect, this delightfully defiant little girl resolves to change her destiny. Winner of more than 85 international awards, including 16 for Best Musical, Roald Dahl’s cheeky salute to the power of the underdog has won over seven million people of all ages.

Zadie Smith’s breakthrough novel is adapted for stage by acclaimed playwright Stephen Sharkey and directed by Artistic Director Indhu Rubasingham in a major world premiere. An epic comedy with music and dance, this theatrical rollercoaster takes us on a fast-paced journey through history, different cultures and chance encounters.

 

Pack Of Lies

In August 2018 ‘Albert Prendergast’ supplied a coat, gloves, blazer and tie for a revival production of ‘Pack Of Lies’. This production was staged by the Menier Chocolate Factory in London.

The Jacksons are a nice middle aged English couple. Their best friends are the Krogers, their Canadian neighbours. All is blissful in their world until a detective from Scotland Yard asks to use their house as an observation station to foil a Soviet spy ring operating in the area.
