The Gatehouse is currently showing the exhilarating and fun "A Slice of Saturday Night" an action packed 2 hour production full of young and exciting names to watch like Stephanie Ticknell-Smith playing Bridget and Lea Bourne who plays Penny.  

The production depicts the swinging sixties with clever innuendo well choreographed dance and singing performances.  

The songs are a nostalgic pastiche of sounds from the Sixties and the story tells a tale of teenage dreams and young love set around 1964. Step back in time to the 'Swinging 60's' as a group of wide-eyed teenagers discover everything there is to know about love, life and music. A timeless tale for anyone who's ever been a teenager in love.
