Writer: BETHANY GREENWOOD & STEFFI WALKER / director: DAVE SPENCER Who doesnt love a Victorian Christmas? Charles Dickens, Mrs Beeton, and Queen Victoria come to life in this frivolously festive evening. Inspired by Horrible Histories, but with drinking and naughtiness encouraged, award-winning Another Soup invite you to a truly immersive, no-holds-barred seasonal celebration, for adult eyes only. Who knows wholl be kissed under the mistletoe? Winners of DarkChats Best Play 2014, and shortlisted for a Musical Theatre Network Award, Another Soup are back this December to offer you an evening of festive fondlings and Christmas capers. Brace yourself for a full stocking of irreverent mayhem, lewd caroling, and bawdy bacchanalia in this new piece of Christmas ridiculousness. Lady Griselda and Lady Ermintrude may be rushing headlong towards scandal, but they still throw one hell of a festive knees-up. They invite you to join them in their parlour for an evening of Yuletide abandon along with a rogue American, whos a bit of a pianist; an English gent of eccentric tastes; and a serving woman from the colonies well, Wales. Revel in a right old sing-song and a touch of sordid Saturnalia, as these miscreants tell the greatest story ever told, in their eyes at least. Performances are at 7.45pm with additional 5.45pm showings on 12, 19, 21, 22, 23 & 31 Dec. 20 tickets will be held back for Pay What You Can at each of the Monday performances on 14, 21 & 28 Dec.
