Theatre Village Are have learnt about the return of New Old Friends to the Lichfield Garrick for another festive farce this Christmas season with “Christmas Present & Correct.” This production promises all the beloved trademarks that Garrick audiences have cherished since their debut show, “Crimes Against Christmas,” in 2016. Featuring four talented actors engaging in delightful multi-role antics, fans will be pleased to see familiar faces Kirsty Cox, Rosie Coles, and Stuart Tavendale from last year’s hit “A Christmas Getaway,” now joined by Mark Collier.
Mark is no stranger to New Old Friends’ whimsical style, having previously charmed audiences in productions like “Swiss Family Robinson” and “Crimes, Camera, Action.” His recent adventures include cycling across the country with HandleBards performing Shakespearean classics and touring globally with family shows such as “Monstersaurus” and “Aliens Love Underpants.”
Kirsty returns with enthusiasm after a rich career spanning various theatre companies including Bristol Old Vic and Blue Brook Productions. Her vibrant performances continue to captivate audiences both on stage and through her work with street theatre company The Naturals.
Rosie is thrilled to grace the Garrick stage for her third festive season. A proud Brummie at heart, she has spent much of this year touring but eagerly returns home for more holiday fun.
Stuart’s longstanding relationship with the Garrick dates back to 2018. Recently seen as Dr Watson in a national tour of “The Hound of the Baskervilles” and George Bailey in “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Stuart brings his extensive experience from productions like Netflix’s “Luther” into this joyous celebration.
Feargus Wood Dunlop expresses his excitement about blending radio play elements into their signature multi-role madness for this unique show. He assures that while there are only four characters played by four actors—a first for them—the farcical spirit remains intact ensuring an evening (or afternoon) full of laughter.
Join Lichfield Garrick from Friday 6th December 2024 until Sunday 5th January 2025 for what promises to be an enchanting mix of silliness, secrets, and classic Christmas capers. Don’t miss out—tickets are available now through the Lichfield Garrick Box Office or online!
