As the ‘darkest time of the year’ approaches you may be pondering death and rebirth, ‘tradition’ and the pagan origins of our most commercial holiday. Or maybe not. Either way you should definitely get a ticket for the unmissable Alternative Christmas Stories!

What happens when a disillusioned elf and a wandering crone explore ‘Christmas’? A Panto Nativity, an alternative carol service, the Krampus, a wandering babushka, and Christmas like you have never experienced before.
