For ages 8+ - Please note this is not specifically a family show. It is an alternative to the family panto. It is a little bit scary and children may zone out to parts. It is dependent on the child.

Full production description

For ages 8+ - Please note this is not specifically a family show. It is an alternative to the family panto. It is a little bit scary and children may zone out to parts. It is dependent on the child. Emma Rice does not want it billed as a family show. We are doing 2 babe in arms performances to enable young parents to attend the theatre with their youngsters, but only babes in arms not toddlers! 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? A Child’s Christmas in Wales is the perfect antidote to festive madness, taking audiences to a magical place of wit, warmth and wonder. Returning to the stage after a sell-out run at Christmas 2025, Dylan Thomas’ beloved poem is woven into a beautiful hour of heart-melting music, puppetry, candles, shadows and rare imagination. Emma Rice
