  That Face
  By Polly StenhaM 

  Directed by Paula Robinson

  Performances: Tuesday 10 November 2026 – Saturday 14 November 2026 at 7:45pm with afternoon matinee at 3pm on Sat 14th November

  Putney Arts Theatre Studio 

  Polly Stenham’s That Face begins with a disturbing incident at an elite boarding school. What appears at first to be a cruel teenage prank quickly becomes something far more serious, forcing fifteen-year-old, Mia to return to London and bringing her fractured family back into contact with one another. Her older brother Henry, only eighteen, has been living in the shadow of their mother Martha’s struggle with addiction and instability, taking on the role of carer, protector and emotional anchor while their father Hugh has built a new life abroad.

  As the consequences of the school incident intensify, the family is pushed towards confrontation. Hugh’s return threatens to expose how much has been neglected, while Martha and Henry’s dangerously dependent relationship begins to unravel under pressure. Moving between dark humour, tenderness and emotional violence, That Face explores what happens when privilege hides damage, when adults fail to take responsibility, and when young people are left to carry the weight of a collapsing home.

  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.
