Bananas for Christmas
Created as an alternative to traditional pantomime, the show follows two banana-loving beach-dwellers whose calm lives are upended when one catches the holiday spirit. Audiences watch a silly and cheerful festive performance complete with comedy and characters tangled in tinsel. The production is crafted especially for young children, nursery and school groups, and their families.
