Comments Off on Funnelwick Limb brings festive fun this winter with ‘Twelve Yuletide Yarns’

Co-produced with Theatre Porto and Eastern Angles

Funnelwick Limb brings festive fun this winter

Funnelwick Limb, is thrilled to announce its enchanting new festive production, Twelve Yuletide Yarns. 

This big-hearted, chaotic, and utterly joyful show weaves together a mix of winter stories and poetry, promising an epic adventure where imagination (and escaping carrots!) run wild.

The show is heading to five libraries, 20 schools and 3 venues – across Tendring, Suffolk and Ellesmere Port during the festive season. 

And in these tough economic times, tickets for Twelve Yuletide Yarns are completely FREE in Tendring and Suffolk making the show accessible for communities across the region. 

Twelve Yuletide Yarns sees the return of the team behind both The Mystery of the Raddlesham Mumps and The Chronicles of Atom and Luna – acclaimed writer and poet Murray Lachlan Young, director Nina Hajiyianni, designer Bek Palmer, and producer Matthew Linley.  

Twelve Yuletide Yarns is ideal for the whole family and is specifically geared toward children aged 6 and up.  The show is being co-produced with Theatre Porto and Eastern Angles.

Director of Twelve Yuletide Yarns, and Artistic Director of Theatre Porto Nina Hajiyianni said 

“This show is just like unwrapping the best type of present! It’s full of surprises and truly magical—a wonderful celebration of storytelling for children and their families”

Matthew Linley producer added 

“It’s incredibly exciting to be working alongside Theatre Porto and Eastern Angles on Twelve Yuletide Yarns. Together we can ensure the hilarious, heartwarming adventure of Twelve Yuletide Yarns is delivered right to young audiences in their schools,  libraries & community venues across Tendring, Suffolk and Ellesmere Port.”

This production has been made possible by the generous support of Arts Council England (with funds from the National Lottery), Tendring District Council, and the Shared Prosperity Fund.
