A family-friendly, interactive production featuring a cast of characters set in a festive forest is taking place from 14 December to 5 January at Emmanuel Hall.
Winterwood was created with the help of 350 local school children in a series of workshops led by Theatre Alibi.
Emmanuel Hall is transformed into a magical, pine tree-filled snowy land where audiences are invited to meet extraordinary characters who live in the woods, hear their wonderful stories and help them on their missions.
A gingerbread shop and Ever-After Emporium also feature in the production, which is a regional collaboration between Theatre Alibi, Angel Exit Theatre and theatre collective Above Bounds.
Emmanuel Hall has been the permanent home of Theatre Alibi since 1982.
As well as hosting performances for children and families, the venue has become the temporary home of St Thomas Library.
Theatre Alibi has been producing work for young audiences for over 30 years. It hosts events including craft sessions, performances, interactive exhibitions and workshops in local schools.
Winterwood takes place at Emmanuel Hall on multiple dates between Saturday 14 December 2024 and Sunday 5 January 2025, with several performances each day.
The 2pm performances on Sunday 15 December and Thursday 2 January are both “relaxed sessions”, with fewer people in attendance and small changes made to the production for families which might find a quieter experience easier to navigate.
Tickets cost £9 plus booking fee. Children under twelve months of age go free.
