Family rock'n'roll pantomime of A Christmas Carol by Hull company Middle Child Theatre, with live music and BSL interpretation.
Middle Child Theatre are back at Social on Saturday 27 December with A Christmas Carol, their rock'n'roll family panto. It's a homegrown Hull hit that first went out in 2011, and this year they're taking on Dickens' ghost story in the intimate surroundings of a converted warehouse on Humber Street.
The format is something of a local tradition: a cast of local actors paired with live music, and a crowd encouraged to make as much noise as possible. The story changes every year, chosen by the audience, so this is the one they've landed on for the 2026 run. It's a family show, recommended for ages 4 and over, and runs for around two hours and fifteen minutes, with a break after the first hour.
