'DANNY and the Donkey Man' - the Torch Theatre's Christmas musical - has been playing to sell-out schools audiences and the auditorium has been bursting with the enthusiastic noise of children singing, shouting, cheering and boo-ing! There's plenty of audience participation in this Christmas show! And from Saturday, December 21, the doors open to the public for just eight performances!
It's Christmas Day and Danny's friends have got the most fantastic selection of presents - bikes, skateboards, scooters... Danny's Mum has got him a new game station and Danny's really pleased (even though his friends aren't very impressed).
But this is no ordinary game station... and the game is no ordinary game... 'The Search for the Magic Crystal' becomes all too real as Danny enters a virtual world of dangerous characters and ancient warriors - fighting to get hold of Merlin's Crystal, which holds the power of good and evil and which - in the wrong hands, like those of Rinigar the Evil Ice Maiden - could stop Christmas forever...
Join Danny, Agrid and Crag as they struggle to save Christmas from Rinigar and her evil sidekicks - Beetlebones and Grumbletrash.
With a winning script from Peter Doran and some fantastic and original songs from James Williams, the Torch's Christmas Show should help to bring a bit of magic to this Christmas!
The show features performances from Huw Bevan (Clive in Channel 5's 'Family Affairs'); Kyra Williams (Audrey in last year's 'Little Shop of Horrors' and Nurse Ratched in the recent 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest); Lee Mengo (Dame Trott in last year's Jack and the Beanstalk'); Michael Neary (Martini in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'); George Waring ('Cat on a Hot Tin Roof', 'Aladdin' and 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'); Keith Woodason (Aston in 'The Caretaker' earlier this year and Dale Harding in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest') and newcomer Louisa Tee.
Christmas can only be saved with your help! So get to the Torch Theatre between Saturdays, December 21 and 28, and see if you can boo and hiss loudly enough to scare off the Ice Maiden and her evil companions...
