In this brilliantly interactive show, the kids are the heroes. Someone is out to spoil the holiday season. Will everything turn out right during the 12 days of Christmas? Who could be attacking the Christmas spirit? Join the Royal Christmas Brigade and embark on a quest around the Barbican foyers to solve this mystery. But beware: misbehaving elves, grumpy fairies and plenty of surprises await you on your journey. So calling all intrepid adventurers and brave parents: you have 59 minutes to join our fun-filled, festive race against the clock, dodge flying baubles, sing at the top of your voice and hopefully save Christmas. 'A hugely enjoyable interactive adventure. It's terrific fun, and any family that would take part would talk for years afterwards about the time they saved Christmas.' Guardian - Pick of the best theatre for Christmas 2012 'Fast-paced, innovative and utterly involving.' Stage 'A narrative of mischief in which children have a chance to cast themselves as heroes. Full of seasonal sentiment, with a little bit of magic and strangeness mixed in.'
