Award-winning theatre company, Slung Low, bring two innovative children's shows to the Theatres this Christmas. 59 Minutes To Save Christmas is a fun-packed journey around the Crucible, from Friday 4 - Thursday 24 December.

Slung Low and Dep Arts then present Emergency Story Penguin, an interactive show for young children and their families in the Studio Theatre from Saturday 12 December - Saturday 2 January. Incorporating puppetry, video and music, this thrilling adventure follows secret organisation, The Emergency Story Unit, who deploy at a moment's notice to wherever in the world there's a story emergency! Audiences are invited to join them in their submarine powered by song, on a quest to rescue a stranded penguin - but they'll have to be brave.

In the Lyceum Theatre, Strictly Come Dancing stars Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone will dance The Last Tango from Monday 28 September - Saturday 3 October. After twenty years of dancing together, the World Argentine Tango Champions will say farewell to theatre in their most intimate, passionate and explosive performance yet.
