The perfect festive play for young families Christmas Cracker is written by Paul Birch and is coming to the Friargate Theatre for 12 shows between 21st and 24th December.

Things are looking a bit frosty for our world-famous storyteller, Ebeneezer Sneezer! He’s lost,

with snow in his wellies, and his loyal pooch, Cracker, has some downright wacky Christmas

ideas.

Taking refuge in Mrs. McGinty’s barn, they strike a deal: if Ebeneezer can sprinkle her

the blizzard for them! With Mrs. McGinty’s heart as icy as the weather and Deadly the

naughty donkey ready to kick Christmas cheer out of the barn, can Ebeneezer save

the day?

Amidst chaotic turkeys and hay fights that would make any barnyard brawl proud,

he’s got a plan and a treasure trove of tales to whip up some holiday magic. So, crack

open this hilarious cracker filled with comedy, puppetry, and festive storytelling as

Riding Lights gives the whole family a front-row seat to the true spirit of Christmas!

The Friargate Theatre is situated in Lower Friargate, York YO1 9SL.
