When Christmas comes under threat from a jolly man dressed in red, it's up to one young boy to save the day - but can he save Christmas? From Victorian villains to Medieval monks, Puritan parties to Tudor treats, join us on an hair-raising adventure through the history of Christmas in the company of Charles Dickens, Oliver Cromwell, King Henry VIII, St Nicholas and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer as they all join forces to save the festive season! It's a celebration of Christmas in the most wonderful, wildly funny and moving way you'll ever see! Get ready for a journey through history but with mince pies and mistletoe. It is Christmas 2013 and something is not quite right. In fact something is hideously, hopelessly, horribly wrong. As children wait for Father Christmas and all the presents are beneath the tree, a fat old man slides down their chimney and nicks the lot! Can this be the real meaning of old Saint Nick? But by chance one small boy spots the snatcher and sets off to save Christmas - from wartime austerity to Tudor cruelty back to Herod's massacre of the innocents and the Dark Ages. Can Christmas be saved for the world? Don't miss this horribly adventurous Christmas treat for the whole family from Derby Theatre and Birmingham Stage Company!| 6 Dec 13 to 11 Jan 14 | Derby Theatre Derby, Derbyshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
