If you’re after an alternative, immersive, invigorating Christmas show, there are limited tickets left for Contact and Slung Low theatre’s acclaimed production, The Siege of Christmas which is suitable for those aged 5 and over. The performance makes use of the Contact proper castle shape, taking in performance and public spaces, encouraging children and adults to work together to find out where the spirit of Christmas is being held captive. The adventure (- expect a lot more than your typical theatre show) includes live interaction, human Christmas tree decorations, dancing and that’s just the thin end of the wedge. The action starts outside the building before roaming through the space, taking in, among others, places that are usually off limits to the general public.
