When did Christmas become so hectic? Have you ever craved a break from the bright colours, bustling shops and music so loud you fear your ears will ring for days?
This new stage adaptation is the perfect antidote to festive madness, taking young and old to a magical place of wit, warmth and wonder. Dylan Thomas’ poem is woven into a beautiful hour of heart-melting music, puppetry, candles, shadows and rare imagination.
