Live show of Irish folk music, storytelling and festive ballads set in a traditional Irish pub on Christmas Eve.
Christmas in Ireland comes to New Wimbledon Theatre on Thursday 5 November, with the show starting at 7:30pm. It's a live production from the producers of Seven Drunken Nights, performed by a cast of musicians and singers.
The whole thing is built around a single scene: a traditional Irish pub on Christmas Eve. Inside, friends — some old, some new — gather to share songs, stories and memories of Christmases gone by, while the snow falls outside. The evening blends Irish folk, storytelling and traditional festive ballads, with the music and the tales running side by side rather than one taking over from the other.
As for the songs, there's a good mix of Irish classics, ballads and Christmas favourites. Among them are 'Driving Home For Christmas', 'Dirty Old Town' and 'Fairytale Of New York'. The cast performs everything live, so you'll hear the voices and the instruments in the room rather than a backing track. It's a night that leans into the pub setting, with the storytelling and the music working together to build that particular Christmas Eve atmosphere.
