Cumbernauld Theatre Company present a truly spectacular feast of Christmas stories all in one show guaranteed to appeal to all ages. Ten magical fairy-tales in one great show! Read more …
Telling almost as many tales as there are ears to listen and featuring everyone's favourite Christmas classics Hansel and Gretel, Puss-in-Boots and The Emperor's New Clothes, alongside the fantastic story The Light Princess. This year's show weaves it's magic like no other! Ten sensational stories in one fantastic trip through all things Fairytale.
With our beautiful atmospheric designs, wonderful music, riotous comedy, great audience interaction and terrific stories suitable for everyone aged three to one-hundred-and-three, join us and celebrate the true Christmas spirit in special style.
There's a kind of audience participation that has nothing to do with shouting out and everything to do with just listening, spellbound. The prevailing hush, and lack of any fidgeting, said it all: great stories, well told, are just the (best) ticket.
Such variety is well-placed, stretching the audience while still playing with all the usual pantomime elements of interaction, cross dressing and the triumph of good over evil.
The children in the audience begin to enjoy the quick changes, and to revel in the odd well-placed moment of audience participation.
A warming treat.
Cumbernauld Theatre, Cumbernauld from Friday November 30, 2012, until Monday December 24, 2012. More info: www.cumbernauldtheatre.co.uk
