A Christmas Carol at The Stables

As part of our Christmas tradition we always try to get to The Stables and this year was no exception we saw an amazing production of A Christmas Carol with actors and puppets and the most amazing music you would ever hear.

The Strangeface Theatre Company are a mixture of actors and puppets and they work together in a wonderful and enchanting way to tell Dickens Christmas story.  The puppets reflect the grotesqueness of the story with the actors themselves wearing masks too.  The set was clever and used to its maximum effect to tell the whole story with 4 actors and 1 musician.  As always a wonderful magical event - The Stables never seems to let us down with its choice of Christmas productions.

Howard Jones at The Stables

Here are a few photos of Howard Jones at The Stables, Mike and I went with Paul and Carole, Mike and Paul have been to see Howard quite a few times, we also met up with some other friends Rick, Judy and Niall and of course David and Joe.  It was good to have a chance to catch up with Carole as she has the same part time job as me but has been doing it for a lot longer (and in a different subject area) but it gave me a chance to pick her brain and get some tips!!  An enjoyable evening was had.  The photos aren't mine but courtesy of one of Mike's FB friends - Glen Kelly. 

There was a little bit of extra entertainment in the form of three very drunk ladies who really ought to have known better, who made quite a show of themselves and one ended up on her rear in the car park, through the drink - oh dear!!
