You are here: What's On > Soup Theatre - Cancelling Christmas

About

Come along for a bowl of soup and a show at lunchtime!

By order of Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland: CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED! There will be NO feasting, NO revelries, NO frolicking, NO cavorting, and NO indulgences of any kind.

Cancelling Christmas is a lively, funny, family-friendly show about how Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans tried to cancel the Christmas festivities. Join actor John Bassett for 30 minutes of merriment and silliness and a good pre-Christmas laugh.

Each £10 ticket includes a bowl of soup (or equivalent light lunch) and admission to the short play.
