Let There Bee Magic... and Scones! 

A new play by Morpeth Performing Arts Academy


Let There Bee Magic... and Scones! is a playful and imaginative new play by Morpeth Performing Arts Academy at The Twisting Ducks Theatre Company. Join us for a whimsical journey following a day in the life of some of Morpeth’s most curious characters. The play reimagines the town of Morpeth, featuring a bee farm, a nail salon bakery, and even a volleyball cafe... but all is not as it seems, as magic stirs and cheese scone monsters lurk! With a vibrant mix of comedy, drag, music, and dance, the show builds to a dazzling cabaret finale, bringing Morpeth’s fantastical world to life in a celebration of community and creativity. Written and performed by artists with learning disabilities and autistic artists, this joyful performance explores ideas of home, belonging, and the connections we share.
