“Chris Bush’s beautifully crafted show is comforting and uplifting with just enough kick for those who find festive theatre too saccharine”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Guardian
“It feels as if this one comes straight from the hearts of everyone involved, and it is great to see a new Christmas-themed show that delivers some emotional truth along with the cheer. I was quietly, unexpectedly moved.”
Lyn Gardner, Stagedoor
“Everything a seasonal show should be: effervescent, joyous, and touching.”

“Bush’s piece radiates warmth but has a tinge of melancholy…lively and vibrant…is creatively staged in the library space”
