Chester’s celebrated arts centre and theatre, Storyhouse, is presenting a production for the whole family to enjoy. Full of festive magic, the show is called “The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas” and will run for 10 consecutive days during December, with the last performances on Christmas Eve.
With a running time of around an hour, the heart-warming tale is narrated by Santa Claus and features a little reindeer saving Christmas from a snowstorm created by Jack Frost and his heart of ice. The enchanting production has choreography and direction from the Olivier Award-winning Nick Winston and masterful puppetry performed by the Little Angel Theatre Company.
While the production is recommended for audiences aged three and above, the theatre understands that every child is unique. It advises parents to use their own judgement when deciding whether the show will be suitable for their children as it features special effects like occasional loud noises, flashing lights and smoke and haze effects.
Additional highlights on the night include a “Naughty or Nice Scanner” to see where ticketholders rank on Santa’s list, a chance to post a Christmas wish list and a treat from him during the play.
The Reindeer Who Saved Christmas will now tread the boards of Storyhouse’s Garrett Theatre from Monday 14 December to Thursday 24 December. The theatre can be found within the arts hub on Hunter Street in Chester city centre. The performance is around an hour long, and tickets are priced between £14.10 and £15.90 for members and from £15.50 to £17.50 for non-members.
