“Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse”
This festive season, The Atkinson offers families the perfect Christmas treat!
On the night before Christmas, Emily stares out of the window, hugs her teddy and waits excitedly for the morning, while in the corner a little mouse called Eddie can’t understand why only humans are allowed to get presents. So he sets off in search of Father Christmas to find out for himself. Along the way he dodges the family cat, gets directions from a cowardly robot and is given some unexpected advice from the magical fairy on top of the tree.
Will Eddie get an answer? Will Emily get her wish? And what is that funny-shaped present sitting under the tree???
Christmas for small people means magic, excitement and lots of presents, and this is precisely what The Night Before Christmas provides. Based on a whimsical 19th-Century poem by Clement Clarke Moore, Big Wooden Horse Theatre Company has a winning formula that captures the essence of Christmas past with a contemporary twist” – Brighton Argus
