SUMMARY:A Boy Called Christmas at Chichester Festival Theatre
DESCRIPTION:To see something\, you have to believe in it. Really believe it. That’s the first elf rule. You can’t see something you don’t believe in. \nAn enthralling\, charming and magical tale that tells the true story of Father Christmas. \nFor 11-year-old Nikolas\, whose nickname is Christmas because he was born on 25 December\, life isn’t easy. With only a doll made out of a turnip to keep him company\, he believes in happiness but isn’t happy very often. Until the day he sets out – with his pet mouse Miika and a reindeer called Blitzen – on an extraordinary quest to follow his father and to find Elfhelm\, the fabled village of the elves. \nJoin Nikolas on this life-changing adventure\, full of fantastic characters and beautiful moments\, and watch how one little boy comes to be the very symbol of Christmas itself. Full to bursting with festive wonder\, this story from the award-winning writer Matt Haig – adapted for the stage by Philip Wilson (Cinderella\, Grimm Tales)\, with original live music and songs by Tom Brady (Pinocchio\, The Butterfly Lion) – will warm the hearts of audiences young and old. \nIn their 40th anniversary year\, Chichester Festival Youth Theatre bring their magical gifts for storytelling to another captivating Christmas production\, directed by Dale Rooks (The Wind in the Willows\, Hey! Christmas Tree). \nTickets from £10 and can be booked here.
