Following a stand out performance at Brighton Festival 2014 and fresh from a sell-out tour across Australia, the Dome welcomes back Pirates of the Carabina as they perform a special Christmas run of their acclaimed show, Flown, a thrilling mix of theatre, acrobatics, aerial feats and stunts –all set to live music.  It’s a big, bonkers show for all the family (19 – 27 Dec).

Other festive treats include Andrew Barnett Jones’ one man show, The Panto Game, an improvised, interactive panto where you the audience can help create the story. If you’ve ever wondered where writers get their ideas from, now’s your chance to find out! (Dec 12)

There’s also Box Clever’s new adaptation of  Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, which uses puppetry, theatre and music to bring this classic story to life in a unique and entertaining  way (Dec 15 – 20).

And don’t miss Ballet Theatre UK’s magical re-telling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy-tale The Snow Queen (Jan 2 & 3), the iconic story which inspired the smash hit movie Frozen. Ballet Theatre UK’s company of international dancers, beautiful costumes and glittering stage sets combine to create a lavish festive spectacle, all set to a glorious and magical score

Finally, renowned folk singer Kate Rusby will be performing a special show of songs from her two acclaimed Christmas albums (Dec 11).

Away from the Christmas theme, watch out for cult comedian Paul Foot performing three special retrospective shows (Dec 4 – 6), a brand new tour from Josh Widdicombe (Dec 15), and a gig from MOBO Award winning hip hop artist, writer and poet Akala (Dec 3).
