A Christmas Tale

There is a show to put on, but all is not well... will the spirit of Christmas save the day?
This quirky comedy follows the highs and lows of a struggling local
Am-Dram group as they rehearse their production of A Christmas Carol.
Tensions are high following their disastrous production of Macbeth where the smoke machine had a mind of its own and their director Adrian felt compelled to resign.
But not to be defeated, Tessa, the flamboyant, scarf toting ‘beating heart' of the company finds someone to replace him, someone who not only comes from out of town but is armed to the teeth with new ideas. The effect on the regulars, not to mention some colourful new group members, is at the heart of a play which is both funny and poignant and, with its affectionate nods to the magic of Dickens, very Christmassy indeed!
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of a production, then your eyes will be well and truly opened!
If you’ve ever been involved in rehearsals for a show, then it will all come flooding back …..like a tsunami!!!
Tickets: £15 /Concessions £13
