Following two treasured years of Christmas shows at The Lucky Chance, we’re delighted to return this festive season with a brand new one.

Dylan Thomas’

A Child’s Christmas in Wales

Adapted and directed by Emma Rice

Music by Ian Ross

When did Christmas become so hectic? Have you ever craved a break from the bright colours, bustling shops and music so loud you fear your ears will ring for days?

A Child’s Christmas in Wales is the perfect antidote to festive madness, taking young and old to a magical place of wit, warmth and wonder. In this new stage adaptation, Dylan Thomas’ beloved poem is woven into a beautiful hour of heart-melting music, puppetry, candles, shadows and rare imagination.

A note about Relaxed Performances

We don’t offer specific “relaxed performances” at The Lucky Chance, as we like to feel that every performance is relaxed. In this show, there are no strobe lights, and no amplified sound or sudden loud noises and we ask everyone to be courteous and respectful of others. The space is welcoming, the show is gentle, and our staff are there to make sure you have a joyful, comfortable experience.
