A fun, festive, family friendly show - perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit!
Christmas is almost here, there’s a magic in the air, and top local businesswoman Carol Scrooge says ‘Who cares!?’
She knows what’s important in life: money, money, and more money. You work hard, you make other people work even harder, and then you have a lovely life. And if other people aren’t rich and happy - that’s their problem!
But one night, Carol gets a visit from three very spooky (and very silly) ghosts, telling her to change her ways. Will Carol listen? Will she come to see the true meaning of Christmas? Come along to find out!
Family friendly and packed full of festive fun, jokes and songs – this brand new version of a classic story is ideal for everyone over 5yrs. Get your tickets booked early - previous years shows have been a sell out!
From the team that brought you Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty - presented by Platform in association with Glasgow Kelvin College and written by Lewis Hetherington. Directed by Rosalind Sydney.
SOME KIND WORDS ON PAST CHRISTMAS SHOWS:
“At last, a panto (Rumpelstiltskin) with good story-telling which is genuinely touching. Those around me were clearly smitten with this hugely appealing show. Magic? You betcha!” Mary Brennan, The Herald **** (Read in full here)
“Clever and original every year - love the Glasgow humour" - Cinderella audience member
"This is an atmospheric, engaging fairy tale where gripping storytelling is at the front and centre of the production. Platform in Easterhouse is a true gem in the East End and the constant, consistently highly quality of their productions deserve to be seen by as wide an audience as possible, Sleeping Beauty is no exception." Glasgow Theatre Blog (Sleeping Beauty)
“My favourite part was all of it!” P4 pupil from Aultmore Park Primary (Sleeping Beauty)
“It’s a sweet, clever show, ideal for stepping away from the mainstream Christmas madness.”****Lauren Mayberry, The List
“The kids loved it – they laughed and took part in the show. It was great!” Ashley, nursery teacher
"It was fantastic - such a brilliant retelling of a well known story" - Cinderella audience member
