ARTS+ENTERTAINMENT Celebrate Christmas with SANTA’S LITTLE TROLLS! Jeremy really, really loves Christmas. All he wants is for each Christmas to be perfect; mince pies, stockings, mistletoe and especially (and this is the icing on the Christmas cake)…lots and lots of SNOW! But, who exactly brings the snow? Santa? Rudolph? Jack Frost? No, it’s the one job left in the heavy hands of the Trolls of Winter. However, the trolls are fed up with never getting any of the credit. It’s always those cheery, little elves and that red-nosed reindeer celebrated at Christmas, while the hard working trolls miss out. Not once have they been on an advent calendar or featured in a carol, so this year, unless they get their ugly mugs on at least one Christmas card, there will be NO SNOW! With silliness, laughter, stunning puppets (and maybe a humbug or two), Pickled Image (Fireside Tales with Granddad and Wolf Tales) present a magical Christmas extravaganza – Santa’s Little Trolls. “The run was a triumph, greeted with massive enthusiasm and smashing box-office records on the way. We’re absolutely thrilled to have hosted the show here.” Ali Robertson, Director of Tobacco Factory Theatres “Protesting puppets, perky people, pinch of panto, perfect!” @GillBicknell “Took our little lad to Santa’s Little Trolls earlier, and he absolutely loved it! Wonderful show! Thoroughly enjoyed it, myself.” @BenPRPowell “Family old and young loved Santa’s Little Trolls this afternoon especially the sock snowballs and Troll trumping!” @Nobbyman1971 20 Santa’s Little Trolls (running time approximately 1 hour; age recommendation 3+) Sat 19th Dec: 11am & 2.30pm; Sun 20th, Tue 22nd and Wed 23rd: 2.30pm; Thurs 24th Dec: 11am & 2.30pm.
