CHRISTMAS IS RUINED!
Written and Directed By Kathryn Gardner
"... told with a lot of playful charm" - The Spectator
It’s Christmas Eve in London and all the children are tucked up in their beds. Bo is lying there in a big huff. He’s just found out there won’t be many presents this year, so obviously this means that Christmas is RUINED!!
Someone else is still awake. An inquisitive, smartly dressed Fox is going through the bins on the estate, trying to work out what all the lights and singing and parties are about.
Christmas? What on earth is that? Maybe Bo can help?
And Fox isn't the only one who wants to know what the big deal is. All the other critters on the estate want Bo to explain the meaning of Christmas too.
Is Christmas ruined? There’s only one way to find out!
Climb aboard as we whizz off on a jingle-belled, fun-filled adventure with a host of hilarious, larger-than-life characters, eye popping acrobatics, and a generous dose of theatre magic.
Sing and dance along with Fox and his friends, as Bo teaches the animals how to be festive.
