Lighthouse Theatre returns to EVI with two festive favourites: Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales and Richard Burton’s A Christmas Story—a double bill of two wonderful Christmas tales by two famous Welshmen! Join us for the perfect evening of festive storytelling. Heartwarming, funny, and cosy—just as Christmas should be!
Told by award-winning actors Adrian Metcalfe and James Scannell, this evening’s festive entertainment has been described by the press as ‘masterful story-telling’ and ‘perfect festive fare’. Mince pies and mulled wine included in your ticket!
Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales is a seasonal favourite in Wales and beyond, and this wonderful evocation of a child’s delight at the festive season has become famous the world over. Richard Burton’s A Christmas Story is not as well known, but is a funny, warm and thought provoking account of childhood memories…in many ways it was a conscious response to Dylan Thomas’ own childhood narrative.
Physical tickets are also available to purchase at EVI reception in advance (if you want to avoid booking fees – cash only). Doors open at 7pm, show starts 7.30pm.
This event is made possible with funding from the UK Government , through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and the Arts Council Wales ‘Night Out’ scheme.
