Step into Christmas by John Osborne (John Peel’s Shed, Norwich: A Love Story) is a festive celebration of the music that makes our Christmases so special. From Slade, Mariah and The Pogues to brass bands and Ukrainian carols, this show explores the stories behind the songs we love.
Through lively storytelling by theatre-maker and Radio 4 regular John Osborne, this is a journey through a lifetime of Christmas songs.
Funny, nostalgic and full of seasonal spirit, it’s the perfect night out in December, full of tinsel and warmth.
