Christmas Shows at Southwark Playhouse

The Southwark Playhouse, in south London, has announced its Christmas shows.

Jack and the Beanstalk by Toby Hulse, presented by Goat & Monkey, in the 'Large Space' 6 Dec 2013 to 11 Jan 2014. Directed by Joel Scott. Journey with Jack through a raucous world of magical beans, milk squirting cows, tap dancing mice and, of course, giants!

The Last March created by Tinder Theatre, in the 'Little Space' 11 Dec 2013 to 4 Jan 2014. Directed by Ian Nicholson. A comedy of Captain Scott's race to conquer the South Pole. Comically tragic or tragically comic, we tell the story of England's proudest and most foolhardy gentleman adventurer in his life or death race against the merciless Norwegian explorer, Amundsen. Using spirited humour, frantic physicality and of course bucket loads of revitalising tea, tinder theatre will tell the story - from its hopeful beginnings full of promise and adventure, to its bleak snow swept end. This time, history is written by the losers...
