  About the play:
  

  Following the success of Peter Panto, we return this Christmas with another familiar tale given a playful theatrical twist. This time, it’s a loving but irreverent take on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Scrooge still meets his ghosts, the message of redemption is still there, but there are a few surprises along the way - and plenty of opportunities for audience interaction (oh yes there are).

  Dickens' classic tale gets the full pantomime treatment!

  Will the Spirits help Ebenezer Scrooge discover the true meaning of Christmas? Or will the villainous Marley and her gang of mischievous urchins drag him into the afterlife, weighed down by chains? Can the all-singing, all-dancing Cratchit family spread enough Christmas cheer to save the day?

  There's only one way to find out...

  This production contains pantomime-style humour, audience participation, and family-friendly silliness.

  Huggle by Julia Blythe

  Directed by Ella Nowroz

  Eight years after disappearing from her family, Jen finally agrees to speak to her sister Clara. Their mother has died, and Clara has one last thing she wants them to do together: watch a video their mother recorded before her death. Part family drama, part psychological horror, Huggle is a darkly comic and unsettling exploration of sisterhood, childhood trauma, guilt and the things we carry with us long after we think we've escaped them.

  JEN - Emily Mark

  CLARA - Megan Good
