Welcome to Staines.

Created in year 43 by the Romans. Mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086. The barons met here before going out to meet King John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. The town has links with Thomas More, Lord Lucan, several Kings and Queens, Christine Keeler, Sir Thomas Knyvett (the man who arrested Guy Fawkes) and, much-much more importantly, Ali G.

Staines town is famous for a plane crash, a lino factory, a brewery, a racing car and a rock band.....

Is it a deserted chav-infested bungalow town stuck rudely between a couple of massive reservoirs and a motorway turn off?

Or is it something more? Only you can decide...

Is Staines the 'New' Liverpool ?  Check the stats here >>>

Into the Hoods


Into The Hoods- A Modern Fairytale

Music from Gorillaz, Basement Jaxx, Kanye West and others

After two succesful years at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006 and 2007, ZooNation brings Into the Hoods, its urban take on Sondheim's Into the Woods to the West End.

This energetic show puts an urban spin on Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s darkly humorous musical Into The Woods and sets it to a soundtrack of music by artists including Gorillaz, Basement Jaxx, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Black Eyes Peas and The Chemical Brothers.

The story follows two children who are lost in the hood. An evil landlord befriends them after they have played truant from school and they are offered a room in his tenement block on the condition they work for him.

Reluctantly the children embark on their mission, which leads them to the flats occupied by Spinderella, where they discover gold Adidas trainers, Lil Red, the owner of a bright red hoodie, Rap-on-Zel, the producer of the finest quality long weave in the city and Jaxx (who lives in the basement), the owner of a white I pod.

'The scenes are cut together sharply, MTV style, so that they always leave you wanting more, and the music - old skool, R&B, Motown - offers a witty counterpoint to the action.'
Luke Jennings, Observer, 2006
