What’s on – April

Pagagnini

Pagagnini is a classical concert with a twist. Gags and wordless skits that are funny and original and have made this award winning show the talk of the town. Think classical violinists meets Reduced Shakespeare Company meets the comedy of the absurd. Well worth seeing.
