Late-night rock'n'roll panto of A Christmas Carol by Middle Child Theatre, with adult-only jokes and no one under 18 admitted.
Middle Child Theatre are back at Social on Saturday 19 December with A Christmas Carol, the latest in their annual panto tradition. The company first staged their panto in 2011, and it's become a homegrown Hull hit: they perform in the intimate surroundings of a converted warehouse on Humber Street, and every year the audience gets to choose the story. This time around, they've gone with the Dickens classic, played with a rock'n'roll twist.
This is the late-night version, aimed at not-so-grown-ups. It uses the same script as the family show, but with adult-only jokes and ad-libs thrown in, so anyone under 18 won't be admitted and you might be asked for ID. It's the same story you know, just played for a crowd that's had a few drinks and doesn't mind a bit of rough around the edges.
The show runs for around two hours and fifteen minutes, with a break after the first hour. It's a good length for a Saturday night — long enough to settle into the story, but with a halfway point to stretch your legs and grab another drink before the second half kicks in.
