Norfolk-based fEAST Theatre in partnership with Wells Maltings will be bringing their very special show to the recently refurbished Wells theatre this Christmas.

Twas the Night Before Christmas begins in a prison for storybook villains.
One of the inmates, the notorious baddie Elderberry Yacht, is serving time for trying to destroy Christmas twenty years earlier.
Now, as the festive season approaches once again, he's demanding to be released and will make his case to Emily who, as a plucky child, saved Christmas all those years ago and, in the process, helped get Elderberry banged up.
Emily and Elderberry will together tell the story of that extraordinary Christmas crime and at the end of the show the audience will decide if the villain should be released.
