TOBACCO FACTORY THEATRES ANNOUNCES RAYMOND BRIGGS’ FATHER CHRISTMAS FOR AUDIENCES AT HOME
Tobacco Factory Theatres is thrilled to announce a digital partnership with Bristol’s Pins and Needles and the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, bringing a magical, joyful and imaginative production to your homes this festive season – Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas.
The festive season at Tobacco Factory Theatres is ordinarily its busiest time of year and certainly its most joyful. This Christmas Tobacco Factory Theatres was all set to collaborate with Bristol’s Pins and Needles (The Little Mermaid, the egg and Oi Frog!, West End) on a bold new co-production for its Factory Theatre. Then the world changed, and since March Tobacco Factory Theatres has been fighting for its survival whilst remaining closed to protect the health of its communities.
Mike Tweddle, Artistic Director and David Dewhurst, Acting Executive Director, said:
“Pins and Needles are a much-loved and respected Bristol company with outstanding instincts for theatrical invention and magical storytelling. We were collaborating with them on a bold new co-production for Christmas, before the world changed. We therefore couldn’t be happier to be still joining forces with them and co-producers the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre on this innovative, world-class offering of family theatre, specially reimagined and filmed for audiences at home.”
