Simon Stephens's CHRISTMAS to Play Theatre N16 This December

With the aftermath of Brexit and the clear manipulation of the white working class for political gain, Theatre N16 are delighted to produce Simon Stephens Yuletide treat, CHRISTMAS, directed by Theatre N16 artistic director Jamie Eastlake and associate director Sarah Chapleo, and starring Jack Bence (Sherlock, Misfits, Bad Education).

Performances will run December 11th - December 22nd, Theatre N16. Press Night: December 12th 2016, 9pm.

One week 'til Christmas. A bleak bar in the heart of London's East End. Landlord Michael Macgraw is setting up for the Saturday punters - all two of them; young Billy Russell, a foul-mouthed football fan and Seppo the barber with an odd fondness for Drambuie and dreaming of Vienna. Christmas, a time for family, goodwill and peace to all men, but not for these three. They've barricaded themselves in for the night, and there's only one thing on the agenda... drinking. But what will the arrival of a mysterious lone stranger mean for their sanctuary?

This December, Theatre N16 brings you the early and rarely performed work of critically acclaimed writer, Simon Stephens. In a play that centres on loneliness, inertia and celebrates the humility and humour of Britain's white working class, you'll find this Yuletide offering the perfect post-Brexit tonic.

Theatre N16 is a trailblazing company founded by young people, for young people. It is London's newest fringe venue, and is dedicated to creating a creative hub where new and existing works can be explored and pushed into new realms. Theatre N16 is proud of their commitment to the welfare of creatives, operating without a hire fee for external companies. This promoting and nurturing of talent means that Theatre N16 is a bastion for development within the context of a society in which the arts are increasingly struggling to stay afloat.
