New Art Club was formed in 2001 by Tom Roden and Pete Shenton and is fuelled by their shared spirit of adventure. Loved by audiences and critics alike, they create work which is a unique and beautifully engineered blend of physical and verbal lunacy.Since winning the Edinburgh Spotlight Best Comedy Award for Big Bag of Boom in 2010 they have had an unbroken two years of success garnering praise from critics and audiences alike in the UK and abroad. Comedy dance theatre duo Pete Shenton and Tom Roden present their alternative to The Nutcracker...an unashamedly silly deconstruction of previous Christmas stories and a serious reconstruction of a new one. The Notcracker contains sharp choreography, an unfortunate game of charades and an unhelpful Ghost of Christmas Present. It’s chock full of Christmas dances, Christmas disaster and the triumph of good over evil - whatever that means. A modern festive show about greed, double crossing, dinnertime rows and angels treading where fools fear to tread.
