"...Who Shot Santa..." is a Christmas story with a difference. An amateur theatre on the verge of closing attempt to save themselves from oblivion by putting on the best possible version of the worst possible Christmas show, ‘Who Shot Santa?’. Roping in the assistance of former group member, and TV star of the 80s and 90s (but, alas, not the noughties or tenties) Michael Pritchard to play the title role of Santa.
Will it be enough to save the theatre group? And does it deserve to be saved? A coup de theatre or a coup de grace?
How the show works
This show is a promenade, audience directed piece. Scenes take place throughout the venue and the audience are invited to walk around Network Theatre to discover characters and stories both on the stage and behind the scenes. Follow the characters that interest you and uncover private moments. Or just take a drink at the bar.
As the scenes take place in different locations some walking may be required, and some of the scenes take place outside the front of the theatre. Warm clothing is advised.
