Lovers actually

First performance

PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAMELA RAITH

Will the Prime Minister finally get his Christmas wish? Will Mark steal his best friend’s new wife? Will we give the nation’s most beloved Christmas film a cheeky, festive kick in the mistletoe?! You’re damn right we will!

Get ready for another hilarious and downright dirty Christmas adventure. From Downing Street to The Other Palace, this naughty musical parody will remind you that, deep down, we’re all just Lovers Actually.

ADVENTURES IN THEATRELAND

A celebration of theatre at its most playful — a show that knows exactly what it wants to be and revels in the fun of it.

Rating: 5 out of 5.

CURTAIN CALL REVIEWS

Christmas chaos incarnate pulled off by strong writing and an electric cast. This show is dumb and fun in the best way and a great addition to the festive season. 

Rating: 5 out of 5.

sits in its own wonderfully cheeky category, filled with the kind of bold jokes and playful irreverence… Lovers Actually is all around… and so is the laughter.

Rating: 5 out of 5.

This had to be one of my favourite teams to have worked with. Everyone super talent and so welcoming. A christmassy blast and a laugh a minute on stage and in rehearsals
