MaD Theatre Company presents an original Festive Comedy

“Mistletoe & Crime”

Three performers smiling wearing Christmas hats

When the Old Dears from the Care Home join forces with some rough kids from the local school to perform a production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol everybody is feeling festive. However, one of the cast is unhappy with their part in the play and threatens to ruin Christmas for everyone.

Mistletoe & Crime comes hot on the heals of our recent successes All The Single Ladies and Miss Jackson Pulled at Parklife so if you fancy a Yuletide chuckle get yourself a ticket.

MaD Theatre is a Community Theatre Company and Mistletoe & Crime has been devised by members of their Radcliffe Adults Drama group, which includes people with lived experience of alcohol and substance misuse and mental health challenges.

Content Warning: This production is a dark comedy containing strong a provocative humour, with themes including aging, care, alcohol and substance misuse, generational issues and other sensitive subjects. Some audience members may find some elements of the show upsetting or offensive.

Followed by Jake Hardman + Live Band

As discovered on BBC Introducing and heard live on BBC Radio Manchester, Jake Hardman brings his band for a live set of songs from his growing catalogue.

Blending the shimmering synths of The Human League and OMD with the wit of The Divine Comedy and Squeeze, Jake fuses synthpop, chamber pop and rock into a sound that’s distinctly his own. Expect a lively performance.
