Details

Footsbarn’s Christmas Cracker promises a midwinter celebration of London’s rich, bawdy, pagan past, drawing from festive traditions, and inspired by the complete works of Shakespeare. As an open-air venue, the essence of the show will be brevity, with two half-hour acts around an interval, giving plenty of room for mulled wine and hot food in the break. Footsbarn’s ridiculous and delightful characters include their poetry reciting, three headed Shakespeare who discovers words that have never been heard before; Juliet walking the tightrope whilst playing the violin; and the accordion-playing worm. They will be joined this Christmas by the Lord of Misrule who reigns supreme over the Feast of Fools, ensuring that all the laws are broken in his hedonistic realm. With magic, music, carnival, dance, puppets and circus, this unique show is suitable for the whole family.
