This new, much anticipated version of A CHRISTMAS CAROL is not only a celebration of all things festive but also of theatre itself.
Director Phelim McDermott has long been a master of unlocking an audience’s imagination with simple and clever use of props in magical ways, so it makes sense that he has staged this most Victorian of stories amidst the back stage chaos of a Victorian theatre.

Park Theatre’s original and fresh take of the story of Rapunzel is a not to be missed, it delivers both an evening full of laughter and plenty of surprises.
Things are tough in the Kingdom of Puss Puss, as the Queen (Aretha Ayeh) and King (Rolan Bell) are trying their hardest to produce an heir to the throne. If that wasn’t enough matters get even more complicated once a con man, The Great Gazombees (Mark Cameron) along with his side-kick, Dobson (Alex Hope) start interfering with Queen’s health, plotting to rule the kingdom himself. Even the birth of Princess Rapunzel won’t stop Gazombees from getting what he wants.

It’s hard to put into words quite how much I love this production. Celebrated choreographer, Matthew Bourne, who transformed the ballet SWAN LAKE into a modern West End and Broadway hit when he re-imagined the swans as sexy, topless bird-thugs has now turned his attention to SLEEPING BEAUTY. He has taken the notoriously thin plot, traditionally staged as a series of technical dance exercises and given it wit, depth and psychological insight. The result is stunning and utterly satisfying on every level.

I first saw this hilarious comedy in a try out fringe production at the Pleasance Theatre some years ago.
A lot has happened since then for this brilliant team of comics, writers and improvisers and their visionary producer, Kenny Wax. Most notably the unexpected success of their first show, THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, on tour and in the West End at the Duchess Theatre.
