The festive season at Tobacco Factory Theatres is ordinarily our busiest time of year and certainly our most joyful. This Christmas we were all set to collaborate with Bristol’s wonderful Pins and Needles (The Little Mermaid, the egg and Oi Frog!, West End) to create a bold new co-production for our Factory Theatre. Then the world changed, and since March we have been fighting for our charity’s survival whilst remaining closed to protect the health of our communities.
However despite these challenges, and thanks to the ongoing support of our audiences, we are thrilled to announce a digital partnership with Pins and Needles and the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, bringing a magical, joyful and imaginative production to your homes this festive season – Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas.
This production of Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas has delighted families at the Lyric for eight years running. Now newly rehearsed and filmed especially to be watched in your home, this is the perfect Christmas production at a time when we all need a gorgeous festive treat.
From the comfort of your home, watch Briggs’ grumpy but loveable Father Christmas as he gets ready for his busiest day of the year, Christmas Eve. Preparing his Christmas deliveries, feeding his reindeer and finally taking flight into the snowy night.
So join Tobacco Factory Theatres for this five star production full of merriment, glorious music and playful puppetry.
