Pies won’t be the only festive thing with a bit of mince this Christmas as Randolph and Bates serve up an outrageous pudding of unleashed satirical Panto.
Will kindness ultimately triumph? Find out if traditional Pantomime heroes will be rewarded this Christmas. Or is it too late to redeem the baddies?
A fun-packed modern-day take on one of Charles Dickens’ most well-loved tales, A Christmas Carol, delicately blended with Jeeves and Wooster served with a
generous spicy helping of Private Eye sauce.
Starring Helston Old Chapel favourite, Richard Curnow.
Richard Curnow, our dame, is the magnificently, shamelessly calorie-rich Di Gestive.. A power surge of a show, not to be missed. Ian Barge - The Stage
Richard Curnow is a highly versatile and esteemed actor with an extensive career in theatre, having played a wide range of characters from the Wicked Queen in Snow White to the king in Marlowe's Edward II, as well as writing and performing three acclaimed one-man shows exploring the lives of Shakespeare's beloved characters, while also co-founding a successful Theatre in Education company delivering Shakespeare workshops across the UK.
Nigel Fairs
It's a testament to Nigel Fairs’ central performance and beautifully written script that for the first 20 minutes of this play it’s hard to believe John Haigh could be a murderer... It’s only when he pulls a gun on one of his victims – all played brilliantly by Suzanne Procter – that the audience is introduced to the true monster. The Argus
This highly accomplished actor has worked across television, theatre, radio, and film, with credits including acclaimed roles in In From The Side, Silent Witness, Unforgotten and Emmerdale, as well as his own produced plays, musicals, and over 100 murder mystery scripts performed globally.
