STEAMED: A Dickensian Improvised Christmas Tale

Date: Sunday, Dec 9 2018 - Saturday, Dec 22 2018
Venue: Brunel’s ss Great Britain

“Hilarious comedy, astonishing drama, endearing orphans, steam ships, steam trains, figgy puddings and perhaps the odd catchy music hall number!

“This Christmas join Closer Each Day Company aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain for something festive, Dickensian and entirely improvised, created on the spot from YOUR suggestions!”

Closer Each Day Company, creators of Bristol’s cult comedy, Closer Each Day: The Improvised Soap Opera (the world’s longest improvised narrative performed at The Wardrobe Theatre every fortnight), bring their dynamic and addictive brand of theatre to this new Christmas show. Come along for a right old knees up and enjoy improv in the time of cholera!
